I've had good success with Missouri Bullet Company's 180gr hardcast, they are around $45.00 for 500
Thanks

Ken

I'll second that!
I get them with gas-checks to prevent any leading issues.
They fly very accurately in my Colt and Rock Island 1911s.

Great company, great bullets (I've also shot his 165g, 185g, & 200g 10mm offerings, with GCs when available).
The 165s are hard to make OAL.
The 180s are definitely my favs.

I didnt know they offered them with gas check. Do you have to special order them? I dont see any mention of any gas check bullets in 10mm on their web site right now.

You almost really bummed me out there because I ordered some this last summer and I'm almost out now..
The 180g w/gas checks are listed under 38-40 caliber... I usually order them sized to .401"

He lists the 200g LBT projo w/GC on the 10mm page.
His non-GC 185g projos on that page fly good too... His hard alloy is pretty much non-leading at medium to even high speeds..

They look like very nice cast bullets but we were talking (or at least i thought) about Missouri bullet company not Montana bullet works. At $135 for 500 bullets the gas check rounds from Montana bullet works they are not really in the running for "best value". Missouri bullet company however offers 500 coated 200 grain tcfp bullets for $50. Im sure Montana bullet works offer a very high quality product but for punching paper with full power loads they a way to pricey for my budget.

Dooooooo,
Missouri, Montana, that's pretty close isn't it.?
LoL....
sorry about that....
I use Ranier copper jacketed projos for practice in most calibers.
For 10mm I've pushed their 165g versions up to @1250fps for paper killing, but I don't think they recommend more than @1300fps for their projos.
They can be bought for around $100/1000 at Midway when they go "on sale". Sometimes you can even get them shipped for free...

Sorry about that... The Montanas are nice pros though. The non gas checked ones are a little less $ too...

If you want to shoot jacketed bullets, give Everglades Reloading a look. They apparently have a bullet maker that makes bullets for them. No clue as to who it might be but they are priced right for jacketed stuff. They carry plated and lead too.

I also buy from American Reloading but you have to check their website often. They will put up something like the 180gr HST bullets for $60.00 per 500 but they don't last but an hour or so. They have mixed weight bullets if you have the time to separate them for cheap. Most of their bullets will be pulled bullets but sometimes they have new name brand bullets too, for cheap. Since they just moved last week, they're out of a lot of bullets.

I purchased a bunch of 200g XTP's at a great price a few years ago. Still have about a thousand left.

RMR now has some nice looking pulled 155gr and 165gr HST's available.  https://www.rmrbullets.com/product-category/bullets/pistol/40-10mm/

Their prices include shipping.

HAP are my favorite high velocity 10mm bullets. They are very accurate. Watch for sales.

I have used plated bullets sometimes above FPS rating. I was worried about accuracy, and from a bench rest, it's detectable 50yards+, but not noticeably poor. I suppose the other worry is copper build up in the barrel. Maybe I don't shoot enough, as this doesn't seem to be a concern.

Ended up picking up 300 hornady hap bullets in the 180 grain flavor for $52 shipped to my door using my birthday discount and free shipping from midwayusa. Have not load any of them up get but will be working up a load with longshot in the near future.

I also use HST from American Reloading.

They feed great in all my 10mm barrels.  Feeding seems to be my main issue these days.

Heavy or thick plated bullets from Berrys or Xtreme work good.

I used a great deal of Xtreme bullets when I was only feeding 9, 40 & 45. Since I started with 357 Sig, 9X25 Dillon and 10mm, I have started buying almost exclusively from Montana Gold http://montanagoldbullet.com/ and Precision Delta https://www.precisiondelta.com/

Both offer great projectiles, Precision Delta gets the "nod" for fast shipping.....
Last month I placed orders from PD and MidwayUSA on the same day. My package from PD was on my porch BEFORE the Midway package even left the warehouse!
