At the outdoor range I go to they don't allow jacketed rounds on certain ranges because they had some ricocheting problems. I cannot find any non jacketed rounds..

indoor ranges usually want a FMJ of TMJ because of lead gases...never have i heard of no jacketed ammo. thats super toxic to breath

only cowboy ammo and .38 special (and a few others) are non-jacketed. I've never seen non jacketed 9 millie

Dicks also sells it in the larger 300 round packs.

It looks like Ultramax makes a 9mm 125gr round nose lead load. I shoot the .40 and my range also requires non-jacketed. I found it at Dick's for a good price.

When first buying my XD9, I loaded some Speer 124gr. 9mm rounds and thought they shot well, for about 80 rounds. Then, the barrel became leaded and accuracy went down, way down. I have never seen a barrel lead up like this! The only upside to this is that I was given the box of bullets and I have some lead to make a hammer with. I will NEVER put another lead bullet through my XD, at least not with the stock barrel.

Beware of the Ultramax stuff. I shot two boxes and it leaded the hell out of my barrel. I had to use a Lewis Lead Remover to get it all out. It took three of those brass screens!

I was so ticked off I gave away the three remaining boxes with a warning.

And they say you can't shoot lead out of a Glock! I was hard pressed to get the lead out with a foul out. The barrel was leaded from the throat to the muzzle. If I wear out the barrel (my intention after many thousands of rounds), I'll just replace it. Anything is better than dealig with the lead!
