Hey All,
Now that I've been layed off and not working 60+ hours a week, I have finally had some time to get some much needed reloading done! I've been reloading only 9mm for now untill I get about 5k in storage. I had about 2500 Berry's 115gr RN Plated bullets and I'm down to about 250 left. I was just going to go to Cabelas and buy whatever they got on the shelf (Which is usually 500-1000), but I've read the many posts from others about Precision Delta. They are actually cheaper than the Berry's and they are FMJ's. So I ordered 2k to try 'em out, but after a week I still didn't get any responce from them with a status. I went ahead and called them today and was told there are ALOT of people ahead of me, I asked "Days? Weeks? Months? Years?" The lady that answered the phone wasn't sure. She is suppose to call me back with an idea on how long. Meanwhile, I still need to get some 9mm Bullets, so what other 9mm bullets do ya'll suggest? and do you know if they are in-stock or what the lead time is? Thanks, -Masta |

From one of my previous recent threads I settled on Montana Gold and others highly recommended Precision Delta http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=6&f=42&t=303825 |

Someone posted a link to Roze Distribution ahwile back.
Has anyone actually tried These? Thanks, -Masta |

Yes - I'm working through a couple thousand of that exact bullet at the moment. I'm running a max load of 231 with them for use in the Uzi. I tried a couple of slower powders, but the subgun seemed to like that one better. |

I've been running 4.8gr W231 with the Berry's 115gr RN bullets, seated at 1.11" OAL. -Masta |

Good info, thanks.
Also I saw that Graf's had a 9mm 115 grain JHP, Prvi bullet for <$100 per-K. Never tried them but I have a box headed this way to try. Almost as cheap as most plated bullets. I also ordered the same type of Prvi bullet in 40 and 45 cal to give them a try. They look like a decent plinker at the very least....Ed |

Well my PD bullets showed up today.. I was shocked, I ordered them on 3/10/2010 and on 3/16/2010 they sent me an e-mail with an estimated ship date of 3-4 weeks.
So it really only took 17 days from the day I orderd them. Not too bad. Anyone loading these bullets using W231 powder? I'm going to try loading them with my current 4.8gr load seated to 1.11" OAL. -Masta |
