Any of you had the opportunity to try X-Treme Bullets?

I've been casting and resizing 158 gr 357 using for my heavy subs.  It loads the same with my recipe that I'm using for the 165's.
This post checked by independent fact checkers, and they're all pissed off about it.

I stopped using X-treme bullets due to the high cost. I load for target and recently switched to a polymer coated lead bullet.

just checked Blue bullets for 180 10mm heads... price of 8.2 cents per
Xtreme heavy plated 180s come out to 8.9 cents per..

Not much difference and I know I can push the heavy plated up to 1500fps ( tho I rarely go over 1350 )

I noticed the Berry's plated are just rated around 1500 fps too.  I exceed that with my carbine, so that too would be out of the running.

I have used thousands of their plated bullets without any complaints.  .38, 9mm,10mm, 41, 44, & 45.  I highly recommend them.

Thanks Rcd567, 15 plated samples arrived in the mail, and am looking forward trying them out 😀

XTreme has a heavy plate conical base bullet that I push pretty hard in 10mm with very good results.

No complaints with X-Treme bullets, use them in my 9mm, 40 and 10 mm.

Looking forward to trying the samples they were gracious enough to send me

I bought 1500 40/10MM Cal. 180 Gr Copper plated HPs.  I've shot 150 of them in the 10MM Kimber and RIA.  No problems with the bullets and accuracy seems fine.  As for the RIA, that is another story.

Thanks 38_Super, it seems like the general consensus is incredibly positive
