West Coast bullets

[gab909]

I found some West Coast bullets in 124 gr RN for a 9 mm, and they say copper bullets on them. I haven't cut one, but I am guessing that the are copper plated. Would that put them in the Berry's category? I have a load for the 115 gr Sierra Jacketed Hollow core that I found, I was just wondering if anyone has any history with these and Unique? Have the 650 all set up to load out what I have in the 115's and will shoot some in the next day or two to see how the function in my bosses Glock. I put the over 5.4 grains of Unique and that was nice since I didn't have to change the measure from what I load in my Sig 226 .40 with the 150 LRNSW. Anyone have a nice soft shooting load for that 9mm recipe that they wouldn't mind sharing?

West coast bullets fall into the same category as Berry's. both are plated. Load em up and get to shooting...

West Coast Bullets is now X-Treme Bullets - (800) 482-2103 or (775) 246-3941

Unless the thickness of copper plating changed, X-Treme bullets' plating thickness is around .010" - .012".

xtreme bullets have done well for me, no issues at all
used them in 9mm 40 s&w and 357

I have used thousands of XTreme bullets. Very nice bullet, and a little cheaper than Berry's.

Both their lead and plated bullets have worked well for me, especially when I lived a few miles away and could get them at the plant......
