    Best Place to find FMJ bullets.

    So i got all the Plated bullets covered, but I want to load some FMJ bullets.

    Just wondering if some knows of a good place to get some cheap FMJ bullets. I've already covered the basics like midway, cabelas, precision delta, tj coneevera.
    I'll be loading 9MM, .38/.357, .40S&W, 45ACP.

                More so due to quality control. Poly barrels prefer jacketed. My gold cup shoots lead just as accurately as jacketed.

                  The biggest difference that I can find is cost. You can't push plated bullets to the same velocities you can push jacketed bullets to, but why would you want to? For typical plinking/target loads, plated bullets work great. I use plain lead for everything but my Glocks. Your poly barrel won't be able to tell jacketed from plated, guarantee it.

                    no reason i just wanted to load some FMJ bullets. i load a ton of plated bullets. I just like to try something different from time to time.

                            Depends on how many you buy. Depending on caliber, I'll send you some samples.

                              First class, excellent jacketed bullets that are in "almost" every way superior to plated and cost no more can be found at Precision Delta (probably the least expensive for 1k orders), Zero Bullets (see Roze Distribution and Powder Valley, and Montana Gold.
                              Personally, I always buy JHPs rather than FMJ, as they are almost always, in my guns, more accurate.
                              From MG, you can get:
                              124gn JHP 0.355" for $308/3750 or 124gn FMJ for $300/3750. For the difference, I will always go to JHPs.
                              For 9x19 and .38 Super, I have also found that MG's 125gn 0.357" JHP Yellow is very accurate and runs $318/3750. Given the number of oversized 9mm barrels, this is a great bullet.
                              In .40/10mm, they offer a 155gn 0.400 FMJ for $313/2950 or a 155gn 0.400 JHP for $315/2950.
                              For .45, I like the 185gn JHP for $313/2300 and the 200gn JFP for $311/2300. For 230gn bullets, they offer a 230gn 0.451 CMJ for $308/2000 or a 230gn JHP for $305/1900.
                              This is the first place I go to for jacketed bullets (have only bought a couple of boxes of plated, and still have most of both boxes).
