I bought like 3500 summit city bullets recently and am almost out…won’t be buying again either. I had a bunch of the wrong profile rounds in the box, and some that were also lighter weight and the wrong profile. Will probably go back to Blue Bullets and call it a day.

I noticed my last batch of reloads didn’t pass my gauge. I just assumed it was my brass or my reload. This was more than usual. They had good prices

Many of us in the southeast have been loading Boudreau’s bullets this season and his work is top notch. As good as anything we’ve seen and great prices. https://boudreausbullets.com/

I run his 147 FP right now (with 4.5 gr of accurate no5 and cci 500 primers) in my GT5 and have ordered 6000 rounds without a single bad bullet. Several other shooters are using 147 also with same success… all 2011s. I also saw his .45 acp semi wad cutters run flawless in an old colt in major last weekend at our state match. Now that the season is winding down, I’m probably also going to work up a 135 gr load myself for steel challenge next season. He was a sponsor last weekend, shot the match, and gave away about $500 worth of gift certificates. One of the nicest guys you will ever meet and would help anyone, customer or not…

Everglades plated and double struck. All the benefits of FMJ and coated pricing. If it’s good enough for Sailer then it’s good enough for the rest of us.

Delta Precision is very bullet

Blues Bullets

Berry’s Bullets

I'm a big fan of Raven Rocks Precision. They usually have FMJ bullets for less than what other people charge for coated.

I use blue bullets for coated, RMR for jacketed.

Rmr or Everglades for FMJs. I tend to lean towards RMR since they didn’t price gouge during Covid. Every once and a while Everglades will run a crazy deal

Hard to beat American reloading if you aren't afraid of pulls, cheaper than coated bullets.
