I have used Blue Bullets and like them.I've had good luck with Ibeji Heads: IbejiHeads I've only used the 9mm 147 gr flat-point.
Blue Bullets also seems to be popular, but I don't have any direct experience: The Blue Bullets
Does Blue Bullets ship to Mass. ??
It is a piece of lead, nothing more. The coated bullets are VERY popular with handgun reloaders. I have used Ibijiheads, Blue and Bayou bullets all with excellent results.We're not going to talk about who does or doesn't ship.
You need to try hi-tekI shoot powder coated bullets in both pistols and rifles with great results. I do my own with a Harbor Freight spray gun and a cheap toaster oven. I have not tried Hi-Tec.

Shoot me a PM and I’ll hook you up with a sample. Blows away powder coat
Oh yeahWill do. Do you have any coated 9mm's
Nice! It's all I use for 9mm. I've shot tens of thousands of them with no issues. I run the 147 gr RN bullets.Just ordered some Blue Bullets...we will see how they do. Were is the best place to buy 223 bullets heads. ?
There's a bunch of coupon codes floating around to get 5% off which helps. I bought one of their jerseys/patch to qualify for their sponsorship program so they give 10% off which is nice. They're significantly cheaper than berry's, for me anyway. I think my last order was 6 cents per bullet. Not bad.A quick check of 9mm shows that Berry's is only $10/K more than Blue Bullet. I recall a similar not-too-large difference back in the day. (I actually think I used Copper coated for 45 and polymer-coated for 40.)
I've had good luck with Xtreme hollow points. They are not true defensive hollow points but I've been told the copper coating is thicker than on their other projectiles. Not sure if true.Is there any particular choice of brand ?
Yup.Just for the record , you can just call them bullets because that’s what they are. When put together they are cartridges. Bullets are the actual projectiles.
