All depends what you are looking for, what are you looking for?Just as the title says where do you get your bullets?
If this puts an eye on certain businesses can you private message me with your answer
I'm looking for jhp 9mm in a variety of weights to see which one I want to carry with.
Thanks for putting me onto this, great for target practice for sure.

Little far for my adventures hahaha, I'm in western mass. I know I could go there but it's a good 2hrs for me there and back.
If anyone knows some western mass spots that'd be great too

2022 Cast Bullet Seminar Sign Up Thread
Itās time for hot lead again!! This is the perfect time to learn to cast bullets. Donāt rely on the local shop and donāt wait weeks and weeks for your bullet order to show. This is a great way to spend less on your bullets and more on your primers and powder. You wonāt save money but youāll...

need i say it? the bullet store of course!
Companies I've used when living in Mass-
Missouri Bullet Co. (requires a copy of your Ma l.t.c.)
Xtreme
Montana Gold Bullet
Bayou Bullet
Berry's Bullets
Everglades Ammo - Carries j.h.p. (requires a copy of your mass l.t.c)
SNS casting- check the faq to see if they still ship to mass
Stay away from Black Bullets Intl- I ran into (and about 3000 other people) a load/ mixed batch of undersized bullets)
Midwayusa, Brownells and Powder Valley used to, but haven't ordered anything jacketed since 2008. They may no longer ship, carry, or might require a copy of your l.t.c.

Not just for practice. They were the most used bullet at USPSA Nationals for the last four years. I use them for Steel Challenge.

Most people don't reload for carry - they carry factory ammo and tune a reload to the same point of aim and recoil.
Basic equipment to cast is inexpensive and lead is about$1.25/pound if you can't find it for free. At that price a 125g coated bullet is about $0.03 each including coating and electricity

I have mags loaded with factory hollowpoints for my carry guns, (or those guns that might be used for defensive purposes). About once a year, I run a mag of those hollowpoints through a couple of the carry guns, just because it seems like a good idea to remind myself that they're a bit hotter than the stuff I load.

Rotating the carry ammo is good practice - that's a good time to do your mag maintenance too (it's amazing how much lint and dust accumulate)
I use two different bullets for 9mm - the TC gets loaded lighter for basic practice and the RN gets "encouraged" by a little extra Silhouette.
