9mm FMJ where to buy?

[acp]

It has been a while since I did any reloading. I used to reload 9mm all the time. It was cost effective to do then. Now, if you go to Sports World or similar their 9mm ammo is only pennies higher than buying just the bullets for reloading. So I guess the question is for those that reload 9mm is there a decent priced place to buy jacketed bullets from? I guess cast lead would save some $$$$ but I hate shooting lead as I have never had anything but severe leading with it.
Thanks!

If your getting severe leading then you are either over/under loading them or are buying too soft lead. I'd try a good hard cast bullet before I totally wrote them off for good.

For FMJ I'd look at Precision Delta. They are 74 a thousand for 115's

I don't mind trying them again. Who do you recommend to buy cast from?

J&K's a member here on the site. Theirs are pretty hard to beat and are made here in Oklahoma. I like their 147 gr flat nose

How about 1000, 115 gr Berry's plated bullets for $72.00 with free shipping?

Bill's Sporting Goods in Claremore usually carries a good bit of reloading supplies.

I had some old Yeager cast 9mm, I did what tyromeo55 said, I backed off on the load. I guess I had them too hot. Anyway they worked fine, and I also had some Blazer brass factory ammo. well, I have to say that the cast after I backed the load off was a lot more accurate than the Blazer. Anyway I contacted J&K and I will try his, I will pick some up in a week or so when he makes it to Tulsa for a match. I have been to Bill's years ago, but not lately. I do need some primers and I might make a trip to see him for those unless we get an order going for Powder Valley.

That's a common misconception - leading caused by too HARD of alloy.

I've shot 1000s of J&K bullets with no signs of need for cleaning above norm.

So another vote for J&K - http://www.jkbullets.com/

these are where it's at!
clean and load to lead specs. I personally like the 147's, but plated is the ticket.
