Ive used west coast bullets in the past, now known as accura bullets.

200grn FP .45 ACP

5.0grns of W231

9mm 124grn FP

14.0grns AA #9........this is in a .357 SIG by the way, not a 9mm. I just use 9mm FP bullets because...well, it works!

One thing I can say for west coast bullets.....they were all within a grain of the weight they are advertised as. Very nice bullets, good thick plating also.

I reload with plated bullets from TNT Reloading out of PA. I load a 124 grain 9mm bullet over 4.7 grains of W231. Shot about 500 of them in a class today with nary a problem.

Again sorry for not maiking sure I was logged in.

Reckon I'm just a little leary of trolls/hackers of late. No offense meant.

I use West Coast plated RNFP for .40 and RN for 9mm. I like the heavier bullets for competition shooting. These are some bunny fart minor power factor loads:
.40: 180 gr over 3.2 gr of Clays
9mm: 147 gr over 3.2 Universal CLays

I would like to try the Berry .40 in 180 gr RN plated for my S&W 646 revolver, but the cost to get them shipped up here would double the price. I may order some anyway, the RN go into the charge holes much easier vs the FPs.

R Dub I'm not shure where your located but I order my Berry's from Cabelas they have pretty good prices and low shipping cost. I've order 1000 180gr .40 cal bullets for 59.95 shipping included.

 

[ichy_trigger]

I use Rainier 180 grain FP over 5.2 grains of Universal Clays for a power factor of 169 out of a 4 inch barrel.

 

[agalindo]

Just ordered 1000 Rainier 115 RN 9mm seems they are now a bit cheaper than Berry's.
