pistol reloading bullets ??

[FishNHard 145]

I was wondering what you guys mostly use  plated or hard cast bullets for reloading  is there a big difference one over the other.

[Krdshrk 3,877]

Personally I prefer plated as I don't want to handle lead directly... also cuz I got kids around in the house so I don't want them touching lead.

[carl_g 568]

I used plated. Same reasons as above.

Coated  bullets so you're not handling lead and a lot cheaper than jacketed like Montana Gold. Unless you're shooting major pf open guns (and I think they have bullets for open guns), Ibeji bullets are very accurate and clean.

I used lead because its cheaper. I reload with gloves on though.

I have used cast (Missouri Bullets), plated (Xtreme Bullets), and coated (Bayou Bullets and Ibejihead Bullets). They all work fine, I have been using the Ibejiheads for about a year and a half now and will probably continue to use them. The bonus there is they are from a local guy (Alex in Belleville, NJ) and he will meet at the Old Bridge USPSA matches to save you the shipping costs.

Heavy plated from Xtreme cause they're nice n shiny.

Almost exclusively lead, but I'm not pushing them very fast in target loads, so leading isn't a concern. And I'm not worried about elemental lead being absorbed through my skin-I just wash my hands well when done, and don't eat or drink while loading.

I prefer the coated.  Still have lead hard cast and plated.  Will continue to use all three.

+1 for Ibejiheads.  It sure beats paying for shipping and Alex's a great guy to deal with.

 

He'll also help you with load information if you need.

Ibeji

I used to use precision delta FMJ, but have gone to no exposed lead. I have used precision bullets coated lead, berrys plated, rainier palted, the bulletworks.net plated, and xtreme plated. I've also used montana gold CMJ. 

 

All things considered I uses thebulletworks.net's plated or extrme plated. I'd used the berry's double struck plated too, but have no reasonably priced source for such.  The coated IMO,  jsut aren't worth it. 

 

I dunno how much ibejiheads discounts for not shipping, but freight included for them is $105 per k. FOr BBI coated it is 90 per k shipped. PRecision seems ot be offline, but they were around those prices. 

 

The bulletworks.net is $100 shipped for nice plated stuff. xtreme if you wait a week or so for their rotating 5% discount to be the caliber you want is about $104. 

 

I'll pay the $10-15 per K to avoid the TLC coated needs.

I've used Rainiers, Berry's, Montana and Xtreme. All plated and I use all except Rainiers again. My constant is Xtreme because they are best bang for the buck for me. Montana would be my first choice if money was nothin' but a thang.

I use Black and Blue Bullets coated bullets.

I just bought 1000 45 ACP 200gr RN and 500 9mm 115gr for $134 shipped to my door. As a bonus, they include about 20 bullets of a different weight as a "here, try these" thank you. I got 21 9mm 125gr RN and 20 .45 185gr SWC.

 

 

This signature is AWESOME!!!

[MidwestPX 172]

I've loaded Montana Gold and Rainier plated.  I'm going to try some coated bullets next as I'm burning up a ton of 9mm shooting 60-80 rounds a day and I need cheap projectiles.

[carl_g 568]

I just got some berrys plated 380 100 gr RNFB on sale during the cabelas sale.. I haven't shot them yet but they look like they will be fine. I usually use the xtreme bullets.
