    Has anyone loaded these in your bullets? I loaded 10 today and will take them out ASAP but would like to know any opinions about the bullet.

    FMJ or XTP? XTPs are probably the most common component HP there is, it's an accurate, stable, quality bullet and the boat-tail makes it easier to load without bulging the case. Just watch your data, they sit deep, so good for short OAL, but can compress a load or potentially go over pressure easier than generic RN.

    I got a bunch of xtp cheap a while ago loaded them up and they shot very well and were pretty accurate out of my pistols

    I used Hornady FMJ 147gr in a 9mm load using W231 years ago. I was always pleased with the accuracy of the round, and it was very controllable. I ended up using that load for a number of matches. Alas, when a certain president got elected, components became hard to find, and the price of these bullets went pretty high. Ultimately, I decided to switch to something else. I think you'll be happy with the results.
