I love using these guys for 9mm, 40, and 10mm. I was wondering where you guys purchase these as I only have one place (TJs) online that sells them at s decent price?
Also how do their HP rounds stand up to say an XP?
I order direct from them. Free shipping and right now they have 7% of code I saw in a email the other day.
That's funny I've never looked them up to see if I could order directly. I'm glad I haven't paid much more than their prices posted today. Do you mind sharing the code?

Great people to deal with
http://www.xtremebullets.com/
all 38 and 10mm/40 are 7% off. Code is "7off381040" only good for a week ends March 18th.
What velocities can these bullets handle out of a stock Glock barrel? I'd probably stick to 1200fps out of the 180gr pills.
I use a kkm 40 and a storm lake 10mm for my glock. I push frequently in the middle 1200s with good accuracy for the 10mm loads (power pistol mainly)
BTW thanks for the code! I got an order in with it.
guess Im lucky, I drive down and pick them up. They manufacture them about 20 miles from my house. Great company to deal with and superb bullets... enjoy
This is a 180g RNFP 10mm recovered from a steel plate.

Good to hear. I'll go ahead and buy 1000 of the 180gr RN bullets. If they don't work, I can always sell them to someone here.
Not sure where those AA#9 loads will put you, but 14.3gr usually chronos around 1275fps out of a G20.

I've had great luck with Longshot. I think it's my favorite 10mm power. It's more economical than AA#7 and #9, but you can also work up some hot loads. I use 9.0gr for a 1200fps load.
***Those of you with Xtreme 180gr FP bullets. Could I buy a small amount (less than 25) to test before I go all out and buy 1000? I can send PayPal or a USPS MO for the bullets and shipping.
I just ordered 1000 165 Grain RNFP HPCB's, this weeks 7% discount code is 70ff4045.
Website is easy to navigate and the online order process is painless .... ;D
Thanx for the heads up, I willl post a report when I get some loaded.

Hey attrapereves; Do you still want to try some xtreme bullets? just picked up another 500 today so I can spare a couple if you want them. PM me...
Awesome range day. Blasted away some 250 10mm and got a deal on more bullets with "inhouse pricing" at Extreme. Perfect!!
I'm considering trying some plated bullets. Does anyone here have good load data for plated bullets using IMR SR4756 powder? I also have some Vihtavuori n350. Has anyone tried this powder with plated bullets? I'm considering Xtreme and/or Rainier.

That is a solid way of identifying your load ladders!!
I usually just put them in order, front to back. More than once, though, I've managed to spill the rounds and not been able to tell what's what. That leaves me having to do another whole separate workup to validate that everything in the first workup is ok to shoot. I've been using dots or dashes or whatever with a sharpie. I like the colors.
Nice and orderly. I'm going to steal the idea!!
Regarding the Xtremes. I've never used them, but will at some point. They are really popular with the action shooters in the area for those that don't run cast bullets. Those and PowerBonds are seen most often around here. PowerBonds probably because they are locally-produced. I have to say that the photo of the 180 Xtreme looks IDENTICAL to the 180 gr PB flat point.
I've been using a redneck way of labeling. Just write the load on the side of the case with a sharpie. I'll write "#9 10.2" which indicates 10.2gr of AA#9. I've even used different colored sharpies and just written the load in grains. Each color represents a different powder. I'll attach a little sticky note with the powder name written in the same color sharpie ink.
This way works well in case the rounds spill in the range bag or something.

I use plastic sandwich bags and write on them with a Sharpie and drop 'em in a box.
I'll be testing out some Xtreme 180gr FP bullets soon. What kind of velocity have you gotten out of them? I'd like to be able to get at least 1150fps without tumbling.
I re-use plastic peanut butter jars. Just write the load data on a piece of tape and stick it on the jar. The jars are sturdy and are easy to throw used brass in when empty.
Has anyone tried IMR SR4756 for 10mm? It's the only suitable pistol powder I can find right now.
nunnya
IMR SR4756 is one of the powders I haven't used, but it is a good powder for the 10mm slightly better for the lighter bullets. Hodgdon does have info for all weight 135gr-200gr with reasonable velocities.
If I recall it is a single base powder, however IMR powders SR-4756 & SR-7625 are being discontinued by end of 2014 by Hodgdon from what I heard.
Just started trying out these guys. First batch was some 200gr .45 FPs. Have been very pleased. Unfortunately missed the 10% discount the other week to order some more. I have liked them on facebook and am following their posts which seem to be where they post they weekly specials. Next up will be 180gr bullets out of the 10mm. I tend to push them to high velocities (10.7gr Blue Dot for 1265fps out of Glock Gen3 G20SF, probably about 1275 or so out of 5" 1911). Does anyone have any experience on if I should order the HPCB or will the regular do fine?
I use the 180 gr. hollow points, which also have the heavy plating. Just shot some this weekend with 10.4 gr. Blue dot and they were some of the most accurate rounds I've shot.
I loaded up some 180gr today to around 1200fps. I definitely got tumbling. I'll try 1150. If that doesn't work, I'll stick to FMJ for 10mm.
Interesting. I've used plated, cast, and jacketed 180's going the full gamut of velocities. None of my 2 10mm's has tumbled them yet.
By the way, are these chrono speeds or estimated ones?
They are chrono speeds. I was using N105 and stopped once I reached 1190-1200fps out of my stock Glock 20 barrel. I definitely got tumbling in the cardboard. Just to make sure I wasn't imagining things, I fired some of my FMJ reloads right after and got perfect holes.
attrapereves, what diameter were the bullets that tumbled? Many say the Glock barrel needs 0.4020" for them to work with out adverse effects. I size mine to 0.4015" and they have worked well with the G-29 and the rest of the guns, I still need to run more from the G-20 factory barrel just to be sure.

Makes me kind of wonder if the Glock's polygonal rifling and copper plated don't mix.
In my G20 I have pushed the 180 FP and HP by xtreme to 1300+ without tumbling (storm lake barrel at 6"). What distance are you seeing the tumbling?

Weird. I was testing at 5 and 10yd. I wonder if the Glock barrel has something to do with it? I got major tumbling with my 357sig reloads using plated bullets.
FMJ bullets aren't that much more, so I will stick with them until I can test more Xtreme.
