Your most preferred coated 9mm bullets
« on: February 23, 2017, 01:14:41 AM »
Looking for your favorite coated 9mm bullets. How did they perform? How was bullet seating with your CZ's (plunk test)? Powders they did best with when you loaded them? Any other important info or reasons these are you preferences. If you have a few please feel free to share them all! Looking forward to what you all have to share!

ACME
124, 135 and 147 in 9mm, powder used N320, Prima V and e3
180 and 200 in .40, powder ETR7 and e3
175, 200 and 230 in .45 ACP, Ram Shot Competition
240 in .44 Spl. and Magnum, Unique
I have found ACME to be the most consistent and accurate coated bullets for my guns.

125 Black Bullets CN - 3.8 grains of Titegroup at 1.10

I have tried Blue Bullets, Bayou, Acme and H&S bullets at 124 or 125.  Black Bullets (BBI) are accurate, consistent coating and always made advertised weight.  They are also inexpensive include shipping and are easy to deal with.

I have used Bayou 135gr RN (I was splitting the difference between 125 and 147) with  N320, HP38 and CFE, all at 1.125. Mostly I have used plated or JHP in 9mm

I am on my third 1000 of the Acme 125 RN with HP38 at 1.099.

Accuracy and performance has been great in four different CZ's with all the coated bullets I have tried,but the TJ Conevera JHP shows a marked improvement in accuracy but not to the extent it matters in the gun games I participate in.

125 Black Bullets CN

I assume this is Black Bullets International and not Precision Black Bullets, correct?


Assuming it is BBI, do you have any on hand?  Could you measure diameter for me?  BBI says they are .356, but I have read a few recent accounts of them being a little over-sized, possibly .357, and that would be very exciting if true.   8)

I have a BBI 100 sample pack and they mic .357 to .3575.  Measured 10 with digital mic.

I've had very good results from SnS castings in 9mm coated. Powders are predominately Bullseyes, Win 231(HP-38) and Unique. They have heads .355,.356 &.357 available.

Is it that significant of an accuracy gain or what makes the .357 coated bullets that much better than .356? You know your stuff and shoot a lot, so I'm really curious about your interest.

Just do not get any brand of them wet. 
In my experience the coating turns into a feed ramp sticker,  and one that I cannot determine by sight afterwards.   And it didn't take much more than a light sprinkle of rain to do this to mine.

Other than that they worked as advertised,  just nothing I want anything do with anymore....as these were the only failure inducing ammunition I can find....good for training in random FTF's.

Before getting sprinkled, they were flawless.
