Zero bullet company

[Countryboy1150]

Has anybody ever tried this brand of bullets ? My local gun shop got a new shipment of 9 and 45 in today. I searched the forum but didn't find anything on this company. Thanks

I have loaded, and shot about 3,000 rounds of Zero bullets. They are great bullets when you can find them.

Powder Valley sells Zero jacketed bullets - http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?p=9212165#post9212165

This would be the bullet of my choice, when loading jacketed bullets. I have used them on 9mm (FMJ, 124g) and .40 S&W (FMJ-TC, 180g).

Montan Gold and Zero are my go-to match grade bullets. The Zero's are sometimes impossibe to find, so get them while the gettin's good!

 

[Countryboy1150]

Sounds good. Thanks again.

Zero's distributor is rosedist.com you have to keep an eye on the because inventory comes and goes fast. Free shipping.

I have used them and they were good. I think I got mine through Third Generation. Zero and Falcon are my choices for lead pills.

Great bullets. I have shot thousands and still have a few thousand on the shelf.

I have shot up a pile of them in my 357 and 9MM. All worked wonderfully with a good jacketed load I used with other brands of bullets.

If they were more readily available, they'd be the only jacketed pistol bullets I shoot. Good bullets, great price.

Jake at RMR used to sell them. They work very well for me !

I've shot many thousands of the Zero .355 125gr JHP, and it's my highly preferred bullet for USPSA Production loads. The one I prefer is the one with the traditional curved ogive. I haven't shot the newer conical nose version---and have no intention of changing voluntarily.

Zero has a really nice a really nice customer service rep "Amy". Zero located in Cullman, AL not far from where I live. Bullets are made in-house swaged lead and jacketed. I wish they made rifle bullets.

Roze Dist.

As posted by sigep749 Roze Distribution is Zero's selling arm and generally offers best pricing but occasionally they are out of particular bullets. My carry bullet for .45ACP is Zero's 185 gr. JHP. Their 124 gr. 9mm JHP and FMJ are both great as well.
Also posted previously Powder Valley also carries the Zero Bullets.

I don't remember ever using Zero lead bullets but I have used their FMJ bullets and they are very good bullets. A few months back I was able to buy 500 124gr .355" bullets for the 9mm. (I should have bought the box of 2000 when I had the chance) I have also used their 230gr bullets meant for the 45 auto with good success. All have been accurate for me.

When we were loading commercially we bought Zero hbwcs in 30,000 lots. I still have a half dozen 500 round boxes that I work out of for practice ammo and for training, great stuff. Soft but well lubed and at the 700 or so fps velocities don't lead.

ROZE is an anagram for ZERO.

Shooters' Connection and 4-5 others also distribute Zero bullets.

Zero doesn't have a huge plant. Several times a year they "Shut Down" production on one caliber/type of bullet and start up on another. That's why they disappear off the shelves for so longg. Back orders build way up, so when they do come in, they are gone pretty fast.

 

[Countryboy1150]

I bought a box of 500 today. 45 230 FMJ. Looking forward to trying them out.

I suggest giving W231/HP-38 a try. I charge 5.5gr W231 under any 230gr bullet in the 45 Auto but don't start there, start lower and work your way up. With the 230gr Zero FMJ bullets my OAL is 1.260" and the ammo made that way works flawlessly in my Springfield 1911.

Don't forget the range report when you shoot them...

Thanks for the info. I will write that down in my notes .I will try that powder if I can find it. I was wanting to try something different. I have power pistol and I was gonna try it with 9mm. I loaded and shot my first 30 rounds Sunday. Eveything went smooth. No FTF or FTE. Tested 2 guns. My 1911 is also a Springfield. My COL was 1.268. I had some factory Federal ammo and I just duplicated their COL. Chrono'd eveything. I would like to hear everybodys input. The 1911 was a 5" barrel. Other gun was Springfield XDS just back from recall work with 3.3' barrel.
