But their Heavy Plate/Hollow Point plated bullets have thicker plating and are rated to 1500 fps - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...ng-at-25-50-yards.808446/page-3#post-10470195they are not recommended to exceed 1250 fps.
I think their regular plated 9mm RN bullets are on par with Berry's regular plated bullets but Berry's bullets are sized larger (.356" vs .355") so Berry's tend to produce slightly greater accuracy for me - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...re-sized-the-same.818806/page-2#post-10567453Im thinking of trying some of their 9mm plated bullets. Any experiences, favorite recipes etc?
I'm thinking of trying some [Xtreme] 9mm plated bullets.
As have I, ever since they were Western NV West Coast BulletI have shot 10's of thousands of xTreme and Berry's plated bullets in various calibers. They are great.
One note, they are not recommended to exceed 1250 fps.
Lots of different powders out there, CFE Pistol, Silhouette, Power Pistol and others.
Work up a load that cycles your gun reliably.
Great bullets for plinking.I like their 158gr plated SWCs for .357mag
That is so correct. It use to be Berry's was a good deal, to me. But I can usually buy quality jacketed for the same price, or sometimes better. Especially for the 9s.The good news is we have a lot of good choices these days and they have to compete for our dollars.
Yes, trip down memory lane ... used to buy West Coast bullets at gun shows.ever since they were Western NV West Coast Bullet
Over the years, even despite the Chapter 11 bankruptcy, I have stocked up on X-Treme bullets when they ran really good sales, particularly with free shipping. Their sizing is same as jacketed (.355", .400", .451") and leak more gas than larger sized Berry's or RMR in-house jacketed but plenty good enough for reloading general purpose/range practice/plinking loads.Great bullets for plinking.
Did RMR stop making plated bullets? I didn’t find them on the website anymore. Their FMJ is about the same price as their plated bullets were, so I figured RMR might have dropped the plated bullets.Why ? You'll get better pricing, better delivery, a better product, AND a High Road discount by buying your plated bullets from Rocky Mountain.

Thanks! Must have had refrigerator syndrome. If it’s not directly in front, then it doesn’t exist.
FWIW, X-treme says their heavy plated concave base (HPCB) and plated hollow points (HP) in 10mm/40 (and other calibers) are good up to 1500 fps.They are good stuff if loading 38 special, 9mm, 45 acp, or anything under 1250 fps.
I would not choose them for 10mm or anything where velocity is what makes the cartridge shine.
