Anyone know where to get 135gr JHP 10mm Bullets?

I have been trying to find some 135gr JHP bullets to make some .40 S&W with. The only company I have found which makes this is nostler but every site is out of them. Anyone know where I can find some? Also if anyone has any they would like to sell I would be interested.

I also shoot the Nosler 135's in 40. Havent had to buy any for some time even though Im not in any way a fan of Nosler. Right now I have plenty of Hornady 155 XTP's to reload on day. Good luck in finding some

Montana Gold
http://www.montanagoldbullet.com/

I believe their prices include shipping. Great bullet, good price, great people.

Well good prices but no 135. Maybe I will just get the 155.

Montana Golds do not expand. Nosler 135's do, to the other extreme, as in fragments, when driven hard...in a .40, that would be over 1400 fps.

Only 155 gr. bullet we've seen that would perform as expected, at 1200-1300 fps... is the Speer Gold Dot. It is a consistent performer. Long Shot powder is king, but work your loads up!

I buy mine from Midway USA Nosler 135 grain HP in the 250 count box. About $35.00 for 250. Use them for a 40 S&W but they are 10mm bullets.

Never tried Montanas so can't say anything there but the others and as far as Montanas go I wouldn't want to be shot by none of them. A big fan of the XTPs though.

Try Grafs.com they only have a 4.95 ship&handling charge no matter how much you purcase. Also if you log in and request to be notified if your particular item is out of stock they will email you. They generally have nosler 135gr in boxes of 250 for 35buks give or take. They are located in missouri and im in east nc and i have my order within 4days. Grafs sells barnes montana lead ,berrys ,hornady,magtech,rem,win,etc.,etc.,and lead projectiles

I ordered 4 cases of bullets from Montana Gold a few weeks ago ....and they were all shipped via USPS Flat Rate boxes ...and received inside of 2 weeks...

They pay the freight.../ and its a very good bullet...

The 135g Nosler performs superbly in the 40 S&W when propelled by 3N37.

Ranier also makes 135 grain .40/10mm bullets.

But, those are plated bullets, so you don't want to use them to make max loads.

I have had really good luck with Noslers 135s in my 10mm's. Exceptionally accurate and since they come in 250 round boxes I stopped buying Sierra's.

While it may not be the cheapest place to get some try Cabelas or Bass Pro. Being their prices are usually more than online sources they always have stuff in stock haha. I am lucky enough to have both of these places near me, so in a pinch if I REALLY need something I can hit either one of those up.
