This one's a 125 grain 9mm TCRN. If it won't feed, then your gun is broken!

We're running an introductory special on this one to get it off the ground quickly (we made 34k of them and we're ready to ship them today) at $24.50/500-count box. Not a bad deal!

We've named it the "9 Cone", and here's the photo -

Brad, what will be the normal cost of these bullets after the introductory special? Can we order directly off your website or do we need to call in for this one?

Also, ETA on when PV would have these or will they?

I do like this bullet profile and it certainly does feed well.

They're be $29.75 in a week or so, assuming that I remember to change the price :)

I would expect PVI to get some on their next order but as they just re-stocked two weeks ago, I don't know when that will be.

FWIW, we're waiting on a set of custom moulds for a 9mm 125 grain SWC and are expecting to have them ready to go in just under a month from now.

Your would just need to seat it with the case mouth close to the edge of the full dimeter bullet shank/ beginning of the cone, whatever length that is.
Same as any other cone shape bullet.

Chamber check in your barrel to see if it hits the rifling leade, or not.
If not, thats the correct OAL.

Order placed along with some sample packs I've been wanting to try. Hopefully all in stock and ready for shipment.

That's just awesome Brad and everyone at MBC! I received your confirming email yesterday afternoon as well. There is NO WAY to beat that kind of service. Now on to load work-ups for this baby when they arrive!
 
Dang, I just ordered some 147gr. I wish I would have ordered these. Oh, well next time.
 
Darn, I just ordered on Tuesday 3000 147g. for 9mm. If I had seen this I would have jumped on it. Oh well, budget tapped out for the month. Super fast delivery as I got them just in time for the weekend! Your bullets and service rock! Sammy

I'm down with this! Those little 9MM holes are getting harder to see!

I have an XD 9 that loves 125 grains Conical Nose Bullets with 5.0 grains Unique. Very accurate and penetrate very good in medium hog heads.
 
Too tempting to ignore. Sometime today I'll have to order some...

BTW, Brad, any chance you'll get into the plating business at some point?
 
Brad would be the person to ask, but there's enough established plated bullet suppliers already on the market (Berry's, Rainier, PowerBond, Extreme, etc.) to question whether return-on-investment for initial operations setup and increased human resources cost to justify venture into plating bullets. You never know. ;)

However, I would love to see Brad consider offering Moly coated bullets. I have used quite a bit of Moly coated bullets in 9/40/45 and they address two primary issues with lead bullets of smoke and leading. It significantly reduces smoke and leading/fouling in the barrel. Other benefits are they are very clean/dry on fingers to handle and don't gum up equipment like lead lube. Adding Moly coating step to Brad's existing operation should be feasible fiscally.

It used to be that plated bullet prices fell between lead and jacketed bullets. Nowdays, plated bullet prices are often found near jacketed bullet prices. If Moly coated bullets were offered between the lead and plated bullet prices, it would offer reloaders looking for low smoke/indoor shooting and cleaner than lead bullet another bullet option to use. There's very limited suppliers for Moly coated bullets on a national scale and Brad could offer Moly coated bullets on a limited caliber/bullet basis to minimize operations cost. Never know, he could do the same to Moly coated bullets as what Missouri Bullet did to lead bullets. :D

Brad, any thoughts?
