Zero Bullets?

Anyone loaded the Zero Bullets? I've checked their web site but they only sell to dealers. Found some bullets for sale on "GunBroker" but know nothing about their quality. Can anyone help?

Hi Mike, I picked up some 125G JHP Zero bullets. Just been plinking with them, haven't had any problems . Good expansion, did notice the jacket coming off the lead sometimes after impact. Using a XD9 compact or 4" service model. Have fun and stay safe.

I bought some Zero's. Haven't shot them yet, but I can say that I wasn't happy with their customer service. Shipping took 3 months. I recommend trying Precision Engineering's hard coated lead bullets. Good product, good price, and superb customer service. I once gave them a bad shipping address; after the box got returned, they re-shipped immediately to the correct address, and didn't even charge me for the extra shipping! Just be careful if your gun has polygonal rifling.

I haven't used Zero bullets in years. Our dept use to buy them for practice. They gave everyone a box a week, plus us range officers had several cases to practice for qualifications.

They were 148 WCs and it seems like they were stingy with the lub because these were dirty and would lead up after just a few rounds. I refused to shoot them in my gun.

That was a while ago, I dont know what they are like now.

I use ZERO bullets in both my .38 special and 9mm. I am using the 148gr HBWC for .38 and 125gr FMJ in my XD.

Great bullets, good price. I get my stuff from powder valley!!

Niether PV or Roze has had .38/.357 Zero bullets in stock since the Barackolypse. While we've seen other components come back slowly, I haven't seen these in forever. I've pretty much given up hope of trying them.

I have and shoot Zero in 380, 9mm, 40 S&W-10mm, 38 Super, 357 Mag and 45 ACP. I regret they don't produce bullets for my 41 Mag. I try to keep them in stock as they are great shooting and affordable (all things being equal).
