I just got in a load of 9mm bullets from American yesterday. There were 1000 115g FMJ that were fine as I have ordered these in the past as new product and it was always fine. The other item I bought this time was a lot of 500 9mm mixed pulled 115g and 124g, what I got is anyone's guess. I sorted into about 6  different large groups not even looking at weights at this time. There are so many different bullets with each group I will need to sort out each group as I go along. As an example one group is JHP. There is at leased 10 different bullets and of course different weights. I guess I could pick out a bullet and load all those untill gone then move on to the next. This is not what I thought I was getting so it is a buyer beware kind of thing. I am not sure what market they were going for with this mix but had I known I would have passed that's for sure.  Craig

Weigh them all and be careful 😊

Yeah I am starting to weigh some now and the weights are all over the place. I even have some that are so light I don't know what they could be.  Craig

Yea, the price we pay for pulled bullets 😊

Well I have done really well using American so far. This was weird but I do think I can shoot  like 95 percent of these. Just sorting them is the issue.  Craig

May want to check by length as well to further sort them

Hey Wade I am checking width as well as I have one bullet that weighted in at 84g??? not sure what it is but I did get some v crown and others I recognize from my vast past. Craig

84gr's wow 😀

I started weighing the pulled bullets I buy from American Reloading too. awhile back before the COVID scam, I got some 180 gr. HSTs that weighted between 100 gr. and 185 gr. what tipped me off was I could see that some were only about half full of lead!

Well I will say that American states very clearly that the pull downs need inspected very closely as it is easy to get mixed up but I have never had a problem and got what I paid for if not extra. This order was a "premium mix" order whatever that means. The more I get into it the better I feel about it. I will shoot these up over time. Craig

I went thru my big load of JHP and the bulk of it like 300 rounds are 125g what I was hoping for. Still about 5 brands but only a few plated the rest JHP. I am feeling much better about this order already. Craig

a lot of work, but time well spent...Now you get the joy of loading / shooting them 😀

I put a smile on my face Kenk!! Just loaded up 50 9mm 124g jhp and all went perfect. It puts a nice hole in my JHP sort, I also pulled out some 115g that are one brand I could load but I am looking for more to make 50 or so. I have a lot of plated but nice bullets to sorr out and some 147g I am coming across as I go. I am loading the 124 at 6.0g 6.4 being max and the same for the 115g as 6.7 is max for those. The 147g is max at 5.0 so will go for 4.7 or so but that sure seems light. I'll check other sites for data on that. Craig

I have sorted all the JHP which was the largest group. I have an easy 100 115g and like 40+ 124g and like 30+ 147g and remember this is only the first group. I have another large group of FMJ to sort yet. Are we having fun now?? Well when you sit down and do it it's not that bad and you get a sense of accomplishment. I am getting real accomplished. BTW since I am studying each bullet I have founds these to be gold dots to the most extent. That's good news for me as I like them.  Craig

Sorted all the FMJ mainly into pointed FMJ and flat point FMJ. All I need now is 400 brass 9mm cleaned ect. Craig
