Who do you recommend for 9mm plated or jacketed bullets?
Any particular reason why you’re going jacketed?Who do you recommend for 9mm plated or jacketed bullets?
I'm trying to avoid lead deposits in barrels and suppressor.Any partiureason why you’re going jacketed?
The Blue Bullets in KernersvilleSo, if you think I should broaden my search, please share your thoughts.
I find RMR to be much cheaper, especially when you factor in the fact that they run 5-8% coupons once a month or so. Below are current prices w/o coupons, both include shipping.For jacketed it’s hard to beat Precision Delta as long as you buy at least 2k at a time. If plated, I have had excellent results with Xtreme heavy plated or HP (all their HP are heavy plated).
I see they have plated 147 hollow points for $78/1000 shipped. That's the cheapest I've found on those.I find RMR to be much cheaper,

I've sent a lot of Xtreme plated bullets down the barrels of my guns, but lately I've been getting RMR bullets. For my semi-auto guns, I like their RN plated bullets, but for my 16" 9mm carbine, the RMR 115 FMJ is the only thing I use. I can push them to 1500fps and get 2.5" 10 shot groups @ 100 yards, and plink steel @ 200 yards. At ~ 7 cents per, I have not found anything better.
For my 357 and 44 magnums, I get the JSP bullets from Zero. I have a 44mag revolver with a slightly rough forcing cone that just doesn't play nice with plated bullets. I hope it gets better with more use, though. I also have Rossi rifles in those calibers, and plated bullets are not rated for the velocities that I can get out of those (~1800fps).

I’ve got a bunch of plated, but I prefer jacketed or coated, both seem to be more accurate from the carbines.
