which .45 ACP bullets to reload?

Do you have any interest in the Laser-cast Oregan trail. I am looking for a good source and that is ecconomical as well as practical.

The 200 Grain .45 bullets are the same price as the Berrys 200 Gr HP I like, so no savings, and I can't tell if shipping is added to yours. Maybe it is a better bullet, but for plinking Berrys, and X-Treme have proven very good.

Shipping is free. The upside to powerbond bullets is that they can be crimped like a jacketed bullet and shot at whatever velocity you want to shoot them at. I know that doesnt really matter with .45 acp but for .357 and .40 the differences show up. Many of my customers have started using them for competitions over using jacketed bullets. Also, what is berry's shipping time these days? I stopped buying their stuff because they kept telling me one thing and then they would do another when it came to shipping. Same with rainier.

No, but I have heard several horrible stories about laser-cast so I don't want to affiliate myself with them. Do a search for laser cast bullet problems. Such problems include ricochet, fouling, etc.

Good to know. I will keep them in mind when it is time to buy bullets. They may work well for my upper middle range .357 loads instead of jacketed.

"I wanted to put in a word for powerbond bullets. These bullets will beat anything berrys sells hands down. >Snipped
If anyone is interested, I sell them cheaper than you can get them from their website.

LDJ is saying he sells powerbond cheaper then you can get them from the powerbond website. Also saying that powerbond is better than berrys.

So if you like and want powerbond, buy from him, not powerbond.

I have bought 1k of .355 95grn jhp from LDJ and they are very good.

This is my choice for cast bullets. http://www.snscasting.com/
I have tried many others but I like the quality and price of these the best. I ordered 2000 .452 200gr bullets and had them in 2 days!!
