9mm Bullets
Anyone know where the cheapest place is to get FMJ plinking bullets for 9mm? Not cast bullets but std FMJ. I don't even know what a decent brand is to use for this that would be the cheapest
Thanks |

Montana Gold bullets are quite good. Buying them by the case makes them reasonable too. The price posted is the price shipped to the lower 48 states as far as I know. You do have to sign for them and for me that means having to make a trip to the Post Office to get them. There might others but not ones I have purchased in recent years.

Zero Bullets do just fine too.
http://www.shootersconnectionstore.c...lets-C153.aspx http://www.rozedist.com/mm5/merchant...y_Code=ZBJ-9MM In multiple thousands your looking at plated bullet prices. Speaking of which, for plinking, you can get plated pretty cheap. http://www.tjconevera.com/x9mm11rnplbu.html |

JK bullets are cheap. They are cast but will still perform. Why are you against cast?

$50. for 500 isn't bad. A $340. case from Montana gets you 4K of 115gr, 3,750 of 124. That's a $60. saving. More if you pay tax.

Precision Delta is where I'd go. I love their 124 grain FMJ bullets and they are $85 per 1000. If you buy 2000, they ship for free. If you buy 1000 or any odd number, I think they charge $5 shipping.
They are the cheapest I've found for quality bullets. The 115 grain ones are slightly cheaper I believe. |

PD is as good a place as any for jacketed, and better than most. I budget 8-9 cents a bullet for 9mm bullets regardless of type. The 124-125gr bullets I shoot, hardcast rn (reloadsnmore), plated hbfp (berrys via powdervalley) and jacketed fmj (PD) all fall into that range and I am very happy with all of them.

I would certainly go with Precision Delta also. I have not found any place that charges less for jacketed bullets, I recently bought 1000 of their 9mm 124 gr JHP bullets and I am impressed with their quality. They are much more accurate in my Hi-Point carbine than factory Federal 115 gr FMJ from Walmart.
Here is a link to them: http://precisiondelta.com/product.php?indx=5 |

These bullets shoot great in my guns and they have fast, free shipping. I will be ordering from them again. If you e-mail them for data they get back to you quickly also.

It appears I can reload 9mm for about half the price of the cheapest 9mm regular FMJ I have found. Definately good links and prices to get bullets
Hope to start reloading this soon |

If not half, then at least 60-65%. I pay $6.75-$7.50 for fmj depending on bullet price and up to a buck less for lead depending on the source. I figure 13 to 15 cents a round for 9mm.

I know you didn't ask for cast, but I wanted to put this outh there for anyone interested. I get my cast from CB bullets.
$40.75 SHIPPED for 500 $74.75 shipped for 1000 http://www.cbbullets.com/buyLeadBullets.html
