OK,
So I've done most of my reloads with X-treme bullets 9mm copper washed. I"ve not complained about them. I've usually shot at 25ft indoors at paper or 25 yards outdoors at steel plates. I "kinda" feel that once I'm out at 25 yards that the accuracy suffers with these but have not actually done any accurate bench testing. I have only done my pistol reloads looking for velocity and any signs of pressure. I shoot them in a variety of Pistols.
I started thinking about accuracy out to 25 yards and if I should work up a reload combo using something other than the X-treme copper washed bullets (FMJ, HiTek coated, polymer other?) I like the price I'm paying for them (about 8 cents a pill shipped) so not looking to double the price. I have cast my own lead 9mm and coated with the nasty Alox, that's alot of work. I've also reloaded the blue polymer coated ones (don't have any left). I have yet to try the X-treme (or anyone elses) FMJ bullets.
What other choices can people suggest I look at?
I guess what I'm looking for is another "bang for the buck" choice that may shoot more accurate (assuming there is room for improvement at 25 yards or maybe 50 yards vs my Copper washed).
I'm in the process of getting a Pistol Caliber Carbine in the near future, so that comes into play.
thx
