I've got a quantity of 9mm 115gr FMJ that I bought from Star back in the day. Thinking about unloading them, as my competition shooting buddy moved away years ago and took his Dillon Press with him. Can anyone familiar with this grade of bullet give me an idea of a unit value on these?

Here's the going rate for bulk 115 FMJ's from Precision Delta, $81.00 per 1K with free shipping same bullet as you have. I used Stars right up until they shut the doors, they made a good bullet.

Appreciate the feedback.

Thank you.

Those are true jacketed and not copper wash. To be fair to buyer and yourself, those should sell for about 6.00 per 100. Much better than being stuck with the old lead Star brand bullets---some of the softest and dirtiest sh#t I have ever ran across. Used to make trips to pick up there for department orders back around 1990.

What is the difference between "true jacketed" and "copper wash"? Is this an issue of cleanliness, quality of reloads or related to ballistic performance?

Found the answer! I was not aware of the difference. Thank you for bringing it up Clayshooter.

I have no problem with copper wash or also known as plated (just loaded 4000 of them), was just making a statement and the jacketed usually cost a little more but that gap has been "narrowing" a lot the last couple of years.
