Has anybody used them. I am out of .357 bullets and was thinking of getting some, $89 per 1K delivered didn't sound bad. Also it said shipped to a business, can you have them shipped to the house for free?

I recently bought 1500 125 grainers. For .357 shoot them over 10.0 grains Power Pistol. I get some really good groups out of a 6 inch barrel.

Those are one of the few bullets high volume shooters will use. They are very high quality and you won't be disappointed. I understand that shipping to a commercial address has advantages for both buyer and seller.
MG is the only bullet I've bought so far. They are very consistant and being fmj means a little more room for me being a novice reloader. No worry about damaging plated bullets, and they can handle the hot loads if one desires that.
They shipped to my residence for free.

I bought a case a few months ago and they had no problem shipping to me residential address, no questions asked. I've shot at least 1k of that case, and they are great bullets. I won't buy any other new jacketed or plated bullet. They are great quality at a price that can't be beat.

Thanks for the replys. I have been shooting Zero 125 grain JHP's in my Marlin 1894 lever. I ran out and saw Montana Gold has 125 grain JHP's 3,750 for $335 to the door. That's $89 per 1K and sounded like a pretty good price. I think I will give them a try.

The 9mm MG 124 JHPs are "conical" nose-shapes, as opposed to the zero 125JHP traditional ogive shape.
In my 9mm pistol, the MG has to be loaded just a skosh shorter to not hit the bullet shoulder when chambering, and it shoots very well. Besides, Zero is "out of stock AGAIN"!
The 124 CMJ is also an excellent bullet.
MG is a very good company to deal with. It'll be in the mail before you finish typing, or at least it seems that fast.

Montana Gold were popular last time I checked in with competition shooters at one of my clubs.

It really is one of the best, if not the best, bulk bullets out there.. I use 'em all the time in .40 and .45 ACP.. Precision Delta is good too, but I think MG is a bit nicer finsh and a bit more accurate.

I few months ago I decided to weigh a bunch of my bullets. The MG were easily the most consistent, of several brands and types I had on hand at the time. The 20 or so 9mm 115gr I weighed were all within .5gr.

Montana Gold has been my designated match bullet since 1995 at the recommendation of many seasoned match shooters. Bullets are very consistent and they have all weighed within 1 grain. In 40S&W, which is my match caliber, both FMJ/JHP bullets have RNFP (rounded shoulder profile) for easier feeding/chambering compared to typical truncated cone flat point bullet profile, especially for tight match barrel chambers (see MG 155 gr FMJ/165 gr JHP bullet pics below).

Due to the color, which you can see in the pic above,are the MG's jacket more brass than copper?

is that for the 125 grain? I just looked them up. I am considering buying some also. Have you loaded them before? I may start a new thread about this. I have only loaded lead for 38/357. MBC 158gr SWC. Wouldnt mind some jacketed bullets to push kind of hard every now and then.

Montana Gold brass jacketing is an alloy of copper and zinc similar to what's used for Remington Golden Saber bullets. Most copper jacketed bullets are some sort of copper alloy as well. Actually, Montana Gold started out making copper jacketed bullets but the jacketing was switched to brass by the time I started using them in 1995:Striker Fired said:

Most bullet jackets are guilding metal which is 95% copper, 5% zinc.
I believe MGB jackets are made from low brass which is 80% copper and 20% zinc.
This does not cause any problems, and as others have said, they shoot great. Some of my old reference books do say that brass jackets are not as good a choice for hunting or self defense because the jacket is less ductile. Remington's Golden Saber bullet is brass, which seems to contradict this view.

I have shot no less than 5k MG bullets in 9mm, 40, 357, and 45. GREAT STUFF. I love their 124g JHP, its what I use for competition when I use my M&P Pro (it doesnt like 147g stuff). My 357 loves 10.0g PP with 125JHP as well

38 caliber 125 grain JHP, 3,750 for $335, that comes out to $89 per 1,000.
That's on the Montana Gold web site.
