Thanks

I've shot hundreds and hundreds of their HBWC's in .38, and quite a few of their 185gr JHP in 45 as well. I also have around 1K of their 158gr JHP's in the closet I am slowly working through.

They aren't the absolute best but they aren't a bad bullet at all. All of the lead bullets were excellent for the target loads we used them for.

Bullseye. A primo target bullet & load.

Zero bullets are good

Zero Bullets are quality pills. I don't personally use 115 grain bullets, but their 124 and 147 grain 9mm bullets are top shelf IMO. I also use their 230 grain 45 HF and FMJ.

The Zero 115 gr. JHP is a great bullet (when you can find them!)

Here's one of my favorite loads.

9mm Luger (Springfield Armory 1911)

Bullet: Zero 115 gr. JHP
Powder: Winchester WSF 5.6 grs
Primer: Winchester Small Pistol
Case: Remington
LOAL: 1.130
Velocity: 1224 fps
