I just ordered some of the E-XTREME Bullets in 9MM 124 Gr. Hollow Point, Has anyone have Experence with These ? I have had good Luck with RMR & Berry Bullets but like to try other ones as well.
 
I've used thousands of their lead cast in 9mm and 357, and their .223, with excellent results. The bullets all are very close in weight and free from defects. I just received a couple thousand of plated .45 bullets and the look great, but haven't shot any yet. If the 9mm look anything like the .45's, and perform as well as the others I've shot I'm sure you'll be impressed
 
I have been shooting X-Treme for a while and really like them. It's harder than Berry's and can be loaded up to 1500FPS.

I also use the X-Treme bullets in 357Mag and 10mm loads.
 
I use them good bullets and good folks to deal with, free shipping too, you can
call them and they will send you sample packs to try as well.
 
I've never used them but other shooters I compete with have. They love em! And they said that for plated they are the best value right now.
As you can imagine, components come up in conversations and it seems EXtreme bullets are really getting a following.
Rainiers on the other hand are dropping off. Large price increases, lack of product out there when most other manufacturers are keeping up pretty well, and discontinued bullets that are popular! Maybe they are going to go under.
It seems that Extreme bullets are doing it right!
 
I use that X-Treme 124 Gr HP and really like it. Shoots very well in my guns.
 
I have received my order of 2500 Xtreme 124gr HP, I load them up with 4.3gr W231 seated at 1.100, they are great target rounds. Very accurate.:D
I reload on a Dillon SDB and do not have any issues with reloading or shooting these.;) I use them in my IDPA matches.
 
Heck yea. I like and use em a lot. I think this is kind of on topic-what OAL do you guys load them at? for 9mm

I got an email yesterday that said they dropped some prices. Didnt really look closely, dont know if they went down on everything or just some specifics.
 
My last order... ordered Sunday night, on my doorstep Wednesday morning!

Them sure purdy! I recd 1500 a few days ago and I love opening em up and seein em shine. It's like Christmas when I was a kid, when the UPS man comes!

My wife took a couple pics of em and did some cool things with all her gear. I'll post if I can figure out how.
 
Their were a few more but you get the picture. (pun intended)

So yes, I love Xtreme. We take pics of them!

I like them better than Berry's. I seem to get inconsistent COAL with Berry's, +/- .003 or so when seating. Not a problem with Xtreme.
 
The first batch I ordered from xtreme had the blue wax all melted off. I called them and sent a picture. A week later they had a new box to me with an RMA to return the old box. I haven't had a chance to shoot them yet, have 150 bullets loaded up. But the service was good. I ordered copper plated FP's and they were here in well under a week.
 
consistancy is great and their plating sticks like glue. 180gr 10mm off of a steel target

That's all I use anymore! I have 10,000 XTreme bullets in my shop now left from the last order I placed in January. I use them for .38spl, 9mm, .40s&w, .45acp, and .223
 
Xtreme is the best and most competitively priced plated bullet on the market right now.

I've used them for 2yrs now switching from Berry's, Berry's are good bullets also but I couldn't get them at that time. After using Xtremes I doubt I'll go back to Berry's.
 
I have used the 9mm 124 gr. hollow points with both W231 and Longshot. Both shoot well, but the Longshot loads produce smaller groups in my Beretta 92.
 
I've been shooting Xtremes since they were called West Coast Bullets. They are all I shoot in 9mm and 45 Auto and most of what I shoot in 357 and 45 Colt. The last order I made through them they did send me one box of wrong bullets but they very, very quickly made it right and it's the reason I'm wearing one of their t-shirts as I type this (great cs and free swag!) When my tax return lands there will be a lot more of their bullets on my doorstep (and a postman with a bad back.)

I've shot their 200gr FPs in 45 Auto head-to-head against Sierra's 200gr FPJ Match and they shot just as well, for a lot less money. Why would I shoot anything else?

I've been using their 9mm, .45, .38 and .380 bullets for years; never a problem. Right now working up a load for their 123-grain 7.62 bullets in a 7.62x39. I've never had a problem with them.

The one thing to remember is you have to flare the case mouth enough for the base to clear, same as cast bullets; otherwise it's possible the mouth edge will shave some of the plating off.
 
1500 fps is dubious. 1100fps was about max in 44mag. They left their jackets in the forcing cone of the revolver now and then.

223's are just as good as hornady's, if not better, these have real jackets, 2800fps easy
40s&w is top rate
45acp os good, but I'm leaning towards bear creek supply moly coats here

generally better and cheaper than berry's and ranier.
