Moly coated bullets, this should be in reloading not buy and sell.

"Precision Bullets (http://www.precisionbullets.com/)"
I tried some in .40 & .45 and they shot quite well.

I bought some from Precision Bullet 147gr for 9mm and 200gr for 45ACP. The company is first rate. I got my bullets right away and they were very carefully packed.
They shot nicely with no signs of leading. The typical bullet lube was not required. They were smokey, but not as much as greased lead. Be sure and observe their suggested powders in their FAQ section.
In the end, their price was as much as Berry plated bullets, which had zero leading and came in more bullet styles and calibers.

I have used the Precision black bullets in 147gr 9mm and the 170gr .40 for a couple of years now. I have probably shot at least 3000 of each over that time. Never once have I had a problem. They shoot well, the price is good and shipping is free.

I've used Precision's 125gr 9mm, 200gr and 230gr in .45. All worked very well, you get essentially cast prices without the leading issues.

I bought a box of 124gr TC dry lubed (molly?) bullets from Precision years ago to try. They're nice to load since the lube is dry and stays on the bullet. However I got leaing with them in all my 9's, low velocity at less than 1,000 fps or higher, didn't matter. Never bought any more.
I'd suggest you get a "sample" if you can or at least buy a small amount to try first.

I have loaded and shot lots of the Precision black bullets. They are swaged not cast bullets and the coating won't gunk up your dies or get on your hands. They are really good bullets and nice people to deal with.

I have shot 45 and 9mm BBI bullets. With N320 both provide darn near smoke free reloads...makes shooting indoors a bit nicer......
