X-Treme Bullets - anybody use them?

[wsryno]

If you've used these bullets, I would appreciate a response as to your overall experience with the bullets and the company. I'm looking at 9mm and 45acp plated, probably round nose or flat point. Thanks.

They're good to go. Seem to have a bit thicker plating than some other plated bullets out there.

Good place to buy them is either powdervalley or http://tjconevera.com/.

I've started buying direct from Xtreme - good, consistent bullets.

I use some. 200 Gr RFP in .44 Spl., and 158 Gr SWC in .38 & .357. Great bullets. I just tried some 200 Gr RN in .45 and they shoot great as well. Sometimes TJConevera is the best place to get them.

I buy them locally and have had very good results. 9mm 115gr 124gr and the 147 gr.

I use theme exclusively. 40s&w, 44mag, 223rem.

49$ for 500 40s&w's
69$ for 500 44mags
179$ for 2000 223rem's

purchased locally.

Great, it sounds like they're worthwhile if shipping cost isn't out of whack. If my math is correct, 1000 200gr bullets would be 200,000gr, divided by 7000gr/lb is 28.5 lbs.

What about load data? Can I just use the equivalent bullet type and weight from, say, Hornady's load book?

Been using them for over 15 years to load 9mm, 38 / 357, 44 Mag., and 30 Carb. Their plating is thicker than many other brands on the market.

Low to mid level jacketed data from the book; that's what they will tell you when you call them to verify what I am typing here.

I really like them. Just started using them. Loading them in 38 Special, 45ACP and 9MM.

I buy direct from them, as it is the cheapest that way.

I haven't been loading .40 for long but I've have good luck with them so far.

I have not ordered any from Extreme directly, but TJConevera has free shipping. I called them Friday morning about 30min after they opened and was told my order would ship that day. Looks like I should have 1000 230gr RN .45acp on my door step mid week.

I used them back when I lived a few miles from their facility and they were known as Western Nevada-West Coast Bullet. Good stuff

 

[biga972]

That all I use in my pinking rounds. I have gotten about 5k in the last month and will be getting more soon. 9mm .40 .45 and .223 all shoot great.

Thanks all, I ordered 1500 today directly from them, all 45's, 185gr FP and 200gr RN. I also asked if I could purchase samples of a few different weights and she told me they'd send 20 to try out. So I asked for 200gr FP and 230gr RN. Turns out ordering by 1500's is the cheapest shipping, they can get 1500 into a USPS flat rate box for $13. So 1500 bullets plus 40 samples shipped to my door for $160.50. And yes she confirmed for me to not exceed 1300FPS or middle of the load data for same weight/shape bullet. I'll report on the result, thanks again!

Like I said in a earlier post, ordered 1000 230gr RN 45acp extreme bullets from TJConevera on Friday and had a box on the door step today. Great service, and nice looking bullets.
