I did a lot of comparing and testing, and when seeing the RMR was jacketed, very consistent, and inexpensive, it was a no-brainer. I quit casting for volume loading, and have switched over completely to RMR for 9mm/38/357/38 Super. I don’t shoot a ton of 380, but when I run out of lead RN in 380, I’ll be switching to RMR for that too. Big bore bullets are still way cheaper to cast and shipping is high (per bullet) on the big ones, so still casting them. Check out RMR’s .224” 69gr 3GH bullet too. It’s a Sierra MK at a fraction the price and designed to expand.

I liked how you were concise and didn't draw out the video, showed many of the popular go to bullets, were honest about when you received a bullet that wasn't like the others, and how you showed graphs with every test you did. Thank you for making a well done video.

[@marklestico]

I'm shopping for these exact bullets and thank you for your video. I was dialed into RMR and you confirmed my choice. Thanks

[@joekarraker9477]

I have used Berrys bullets for several years and really like them.

[@ecleveland1]

I’ve used the X-Treme bullets for years and been very pleased with them and the company itself. They have some very good deals every now and then that are too good to pass up. Just remember not to order too many 500 round boxes at once, be kind to your mail carrier. Remember these boxes are heavy.

[@deuceandguns]

I've not priced them in a while, but they used to have the best price for 55 grain .556 fmj bullets.

[@Rusty_ok]

Very good analysis. I have used the RMR for the last 4-5 years. Nothing but good things to say about this company. Always prompt service always high quality always good prices.

[@deuceandguns]

Yep. After this video was uploaded, I've put in a larger order.

[@spaceghost17]

RMR is my got to. Great products, accurate, great customer service! Free shipping included in the price. 😎

[@deuceandguns]

Yep. I just got another package of 147 grain seconds at a great price.

[@slcgrgcrgcaneafgugiesclawhfg]

SB-620 powder from Gunbroker ($17 a pound shipped) and pulled bullets from American Reloading (about 5 cents each)

[@TUKByV1]

My ex was into the polyamorous rifling. I'm more traditional, so we parted ways. Last I heard, she worked at Kel-Tec.

[@joshuagibson2520]

You're a goofball and I am here for it.

[@wemcal]

Wonderful video.. Berry’s user here.. I also like to check the plating and weights of my bullets.. I only buy local and one that isn’t mentioned is HSM.. got a box once, seemed okay

[@mikebolton3816]

I use the Extreme brand and RMR. I stuff thousands of Extreme in both 9mm run in Ruger P95 and .45acp every year. I shoot them at bowling pin comps mostly. I really like their 255gfp for knocking the crap outta the pins. Run in SR1911, and Ruger American.45acp. I also load extreme in 7.62x39. they run great in AK, SKS, AR, and my bolt gun keeps them tickling a quarter at 100yds. The RMR I load for my PCC I tossed together in .45acp. and since they share mags, I run in G41 as well. I have found that reloading brass that's been through a Glock, doesn't really like going through a 1911 afterwards. So I do take mind now to separate the brass. But it's not hard, I just separate by primer pocket size, and the 1911 gets only lg pocket like God intended. Also... Check out Missouri Bullets. I run them in .458 Socom. And Check out Fury .729hp. Holy fun! They sound like shooting a 30mm grenade. Great video as always. Edit. I saw the 78 spread, wth? I run titegroup and my sd was 24. I also run Shooters World Cleanshot and had 29 sd. Before you give up on the Extreme, try a different powder.

[@haroldhenderson2824]

If your bullets are "tumbling" (flying erratic), the likely cause is UNDERSIZED bullets. The rifling lands are ONLY a few thousandths tall (less if clogged or worn). I switched from Hard lead to plated to reduce the build up.

[@deuceandguns]

That's the thing. Pistol was new with a nice looking barrel. The bullets weren't undersized and shoot great in everything from an original p38 to a factory Glock, S&W, Taurus, etc. There's something about my Canik's rifling, chamber, or transition between the two that the cast lead simply didn't work well with. With the price of decent scrap lead today, it's probably best I save it for my 300 blkout subs anyways. Here's a link to the first video on the issue: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3uYgKuEpLuhi6c

[@scottmorgan1016]

My go to has been RMR for yrs now. I have to say Everglades is my second choice. But i might give Berrys a look now. But RMR has had all my projectiles from 380acp up to 45acp and have great success with them. Once in awhile they have a great deal on seconds and i havent seen any issues yet. Enjoyed this one alot

[@deuceandguns]

Thanks! I just got in an order of RMR seconds and I can't find anything wrong with them.

[@TwilightKid]

I got two boxes of 500 copper plated bullets on my bench right now. One is 9mm and the other .45 and both have price tags under $10 plus 100 small and 100 large primers that cost under $2 each. Of course, I purchased them in the 1990s. Okay, to explain, my reloader was stolen, and I finally got a new progressive a couple of months ago.

[@brianbelliveau5551]

Good video I have used all of those bullets I like the RMR and Barry’s

[@tonyzhu403]

This might be a Canadian Special, CamPro Plated Bullets. I've ran them quite a bit for my Action Shooting Endeavors.

[@Hickamfield]

i personalty love RMR or cast my own

[@RMM--uv7uk]

I run the Berrys most of the time.

[@vintagetintrader1062]

Love to reload 9mm in Australia but pistol powder haven’t really been available since Covid, wanting it for 300 BO and shortly for 9mm, possibly 357 too. Can only get rifle powder (ADI Benchmark 2) and slower

[@elesjuan]

Always been a fan of Barry's bookits. Have a few 1k cases of 9mm from them in my stock.

[@scoleman825]

Those xtremes are golden! And the Rmr are nice for my purposes

[@spotlockbaits3689]

I’m sure the answers here but can’t read all comments. Grains are used simply because it’s a more accurate unit of measurement. Thank you for doing the research for us

[@stickfighter1038]

Subsonic 9mm using 147 GR Berry's Bullets is something that I am trying so appreciate this comparison.

[@Friedbrain11]

Those two choices are the same as I came up with. I really like FMJ ammo so RMR is my first pick. I don't have a 5' barrel but they have 135gr and 124gr FMJ so that is what I would test out.

[@deuceandguns]

Now that they've dropped the 40 cal, the FBI uses 135 grain 9mm through a Glock 19 so you're right on the money there.

[@jayslaughter3362]

You were asking about other bullets, we have been using Cam Pro bullets for several years and would be interested in your review.

[@deuceandguns]

Interesting, I'll have to take a look at them. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@donwyoming1936]

I've had issues with Berry's 9mm plated bullets being too large to chamber. Diameter around .357-.358". Worked fine in my Hi-Powers & FNX-9, but won't fully chamber in my Glocks, IMI, S&W, etc... Good thing I usually shoot a Hi-Power.

[@jayl8034]

Big like for your video. I'm doing something similar w/124 gr bullets. Keep on rockin'!

[@claytongross5657]

Haven't started yet, but most likely, I will be starting very soon on reloading my own 9mm rounds. Do you have any beginner videos of setting up and doing some basic reloading? Or anything along those lines?

[@deuceandguns]

At one point half my videos were detailed reloading videos and I guess they were too detailed because KZbin deleted most of them and anything close to a detailed reloading video gets demonetized or just won't be allowed to go live. Here's the link to my remaining reloading playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLVqUOaZXStZ9aba-mZnuwJSHM0Pc3_Mqf I highly recommend to start off with a Lee Turret press a reloading manual such as the Lee, Hornady, or Lyman and lastly, follow the official loading recipes in manuals or published by the powder companies for a LONG time. The people online who are experimenting with unpublished powder charges are either like me with 20 yrs and at least 50k rounds reloaded or are putting themselves in danger. Feel free to ask me any reloading questions on future videos. If you respond to old comments KZbin sometimes doesn't tell me I got a new reply.

[@joshuagibson2520]

Just commenting because I can and it helps the channel.

[@deuceandguns]

I appreciate that.

[@curtwuollet2912]

No contest for me, Berrys are available at a local store so no shipping.

[@deletdis6173]

My mom would be tickled pink if I sent her a box of Berrys Bullets probably lol

[@deuceandguns]

Your mom sounds cooler than mine.

[@davidr7333]

Thanks for the great info!

[@jcm4590]

Very helpful. Thank you.

[@take1one]

Just get a 357 size die and go back to lead. It also might be your mouth flare isnt wide enough, swaging your cast lead down to .355 or so when you seat a bullet no matter how big you size the projectile. Try a 38 special expander. Or if you have a dillon Double Alpha has a coated bullet 9 mm expander. I say dont give up on lead.

[@jeffreyallen3461]

American Reloading pulls or blems?

[@justinmoen6857]

Berry’s bullets waned against pushing past the max velocity.

[@howardcf46]

I just bought 124 FMJ from Precision Delta for $334/3600. .0927 per bullet, free shipping

[@deuceandguns]

That's a good price for real FMJ!

Howdy, Thanks for stopping by.

[@randallcollier9328]

Last two times I ordered from Xtreme, they double charged me!…once when the order was placed, and AGAIN when it shipped!…..I won’t ever Oder from Xtreme again.

[@stevenaylor5163]

Where to find decent lower cost primers?

[@deuceandguns]

I've gotten some good geals at Capital Cartridge, but you can't be picky with the brand.

[@elesjuan]

Ya remember when primers used to cost $0.029 each? Pepperidge farm does, and unfortunately so do I. 😢

[@deuceandguns]

One of my first reloading videos (now taken down by KZbin) was how to load 9mm for 3 cents. It required casting bullets from lead wheel weights and Wolf primers that cost $18 per thousand. Good times.

[@murphy4yt]

@@elesjuan I remember farther back than that. In the 70s, when I started reloading, they were $7.00/1000. .007 apiece. Those days are gone forever, sadly.

In the EU I can't buy power or primers for reloading. GRRRR

[@deuceandguns]

I never thought about it but is reloading just a USA specific hobby?

[@normski262]

@@deuceandguns I have all the gear, can't use it, so it sits and gets dusty, as said, powder and primers are like rocking horse poop, so have no choice but to buy mass production stuff. stupid wars, so they say...

[@ecleveland1]

I’m in the United States, home of the free and The Second Amendment and I can’t afford to order powder and primers. I’m not paying $100 dollars for a thousand primers or a pound of powder. I don’t care what excuse they have for the shortages and insane prices. It’s funny that prices go up during election years and when democrats are in power. They finally stopped going after our guns so much when they figured out they could make the ammunition too expensive to buy or make.
