I used to like them until I got 3 boxes of 9mm FMJ that were undersized. I am waiting on a refund. The bullets have been back at Xtreme for over 2 months. Dealing with their customer service has been a pain.

Good luck.

Ditto... I had a thread regarding those FMJ bullets. I ended up getting a U size die that helped me use them up. Their plated are fine but those FMJ’s sucked.

My problem was that I couldn't find a load that was accurate. I was loading 25 bullets in powder steps of 5 bullets per weight and could not get less than a 6" spread at 10 yards using a gun vice with a crimson trace laser. I went through 8 different powders that have always found one or two weights of powder that would give me a 2" or less cluster.

The Xtreme plated are a better product. I tried to get them to replace the jacketed bullets with the same weight in plated bullets but they would not do it. The aggravation of trying to get them to answer my emails, stories of emails they sent but I never received, and the two and three day turn-a-round on their replies just got too frustrating.

Funny thing is they also removed me from their mailing list as I didn't get the Black Friday mailer. A range buddy who is a buying partner for bulk buys got the mailer and forwarded it me wanting to know if I was interested in any of the plated bullets. I reminded him of the FMJ and we now have an order in with Bayou Bullets on the Black Friday sale.

I am through with them.

Thanks for that extra 5% off. I didn't really need bullets but with that discount I can't pass it up.

Jim, I have been sponsored by Xtreme for 4 years now and I have never seen the 20% off before. But they have had their best deal of the year on BF.

I got mine about 12 days after I ordered them. But I ordered 240 LSWC's and 148 LDEWC's. Probably not a ton of demand for those bullets.

Yes, I bought 5000 of their 220 grain 10MM bullets and got them in less than a week.

I ordered mine on Thanksgiving Saturday; they were shipped on Cyber Monday and I got them a few days later. UPS did have a 1-day delay; I chalk that up to possible weather issues across the country.
