Acme bullet company

Acme makes good bullets but MBC makes better. I prefer MBC.

Lead? MBC (Missouri bullet company)
Jacketed? RMR (rocky mountain reloading)

Both have THR codes and both offer superior bullets at best in market price.
 
I purchased some of those for my new SCCY 380. I've only fired a few, but they were .355" and my barrel slugs at .355" so I got some fouling. I have some of that same design but coated on the way from Acme and I'll give them a try. I normally cast my own but I usually buy some bullets of the design I want to use before I buy a mold to see if my gun likes them. I would want my 380 Auto cast bullets a bit softer (11-12 BHN) and a bit larger (.356"-.357").

New to reloading metallic cartridges? Perhaps a copy of The ABCs of Reloading would speed up/ease the learning process.
 
I load a lot of Acme bullets in 9mm, 38 and 45acp. They are local to me and I'm pleased with how the shoot. I would also suggest you try the HI-Tek coated over the lubed. Coated are less smokey, way less likely to lead up your barrel and you aren't handling bare lead while reloading.

Not really new. I have reloaded metallic cartridges off and on for years with my uncle. One flavor...270. He always did the purchasing and I would just fork out the cash. On my own now and getting into pistol cartridges.
 
I have nothing against ACME but for me, at that price for lubed lead bullets, I rather get jacketed bullets for less from RMR, especially if you have any leading concerns.

RMR 95 gr FMJ comes to $71.25/1000 shipped with 5% THR discount (PM members for discount code) - https://www.rmrbullets.com/shop/bullets/pistol/9mm-355/380-95-gr-rmr-fmj-round-nose-bullets-new/

And FYI, RMR in-house manufactured jacketed bullets were consistent enough to be selected by ELEY for their centerfire match ammunition - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...-match-ammunition.854750/page-3#post-11282439
 
I have had good results with Brazos coated bullets. They sell their bullets in 15# bags and all bullets in any weight or caliber are $42 per bag. So the number of bullets per bag depends on bullet weight. I order 4 bags at a time, they can be different calibers or weights, doing that I get free shipping.
Here are the 380 bullets I use, a coated 95 gr. round nose. Their are 1106 per 15# bag, that equals to .038 cents per bullet.

Put a order in tonight to check em out. Thanks
 
@Puddlejumper if you're going to be reloading for a Glock 42, I would highly recommend that you stick with either coated or jacketed bullets if you're using the stock Glock barrel. There are quite a few posts around the 'net about guys having issues with cast bullets (bare lead that is just lubricated) heavily leading Glock barrels, and especially the Glock 42.

I load a lot of ammo for my Glock 42, and haven't ever even tried to run lubed lead through it... just stuck to plated, FMJ, or powder coated.

Just something to consider in case you're shooting a Glock 42. :)
 
these guys have 380 for 1,000 pcs @ $66 with free shipping and I believe as a first time buyer he offers 10 % discount , I ordered some 9mm from him and rmr at the same time I got the coated ones about a week and half before rmr order showed up , so he has quick shipping that is free as well , I have always found coated cheaper the jacket or plated
anyway here is a link to check out kind of a cool website with some videos

Appreciate the tip but loading these for my girls to shoot out of m&p 380 ez.
 
I've shot probably over 3 - 4,000.
I love the look of the red pills being visible to the intended target (from a revolver).

They're as good as any other bullet I bought.
I've used 'em in 38/357, 41 mag, 44 spec/44 mag & 45 Colt.
No loss of accuracy or leading.
No problems with placing or receiving orders.

Never ordered from Titan, I've always ordered direct from ACME.
And they come in really nice little wooden boxes.
