What brand and type of bullets do you use for USPSA?

[Buckeye911]

I have been using Berry's and X-Treme RN for my 9mm over the past year. I am getting a new gun in a 40 S&W. If i was to change the bullet brand and type now is the time. What type do you use? Would you consider the SNS coated and what type? I had a conversation with another competitor last week and I was interested in his decision to go with SNS coated.

Any thoughts and input would be great!

Most people I know use SNS. It's been good from what I heard.

SNS, with their free delivery to matches in Indiana, it's a no brainer.
And they are good bullets. Smoke less, very accurate.
I use the 124g round nose in 9mm and the 180 gr flat point in .40.
Both coated.

Try their 165 grain coated with WSF powder

I was using Xtreme, then tried SNS.

I'm going against the grain here, was not impressed with them accuracy wise. Went back to Xtreme in a hurry.

It's all I shoot now.

Xtreme 124 RN

Try Precision Bullets, they are cheaper than SNS and BBI.

Everglades reloading has plated 180 40 cal 2500 for $269.

SNS are all I use. Good bullets, good guys, and they always support Indiana matches. Plus the 10k discount and free delivery to matches makes them hard to beat. That said, there are a lot of other good choices as well. Just depends on what you like.

That sums it up for me too. I'll add the coated bullets is a drastic reduction in smoke compared to traditional lead. They shoot at least as accurate as any plated bullet I've shot. In my opinion, they've obsoleted the need for plated bullets in uspsa style shooting (except open).

SNS here too!

I only shoot 40cal. I use 165gr bullets with Vihtavuori N340 powder. I only use coated bullets from Black Bullets International. Chandler makes high quality product. Shipping is included in the price you see on the website. Check out his website.

Blue Bullets. Great coated bullet!

I use xtreme 180 rnfp in 40 and 124 rn for 9mm

Over the last 30,000 rounds or so, about 2 years, I've shot black bullets, bayou, blue bullets, SNS, xtreme, and Montana gold. In either 9 minor or 45 major. The Montana golds were awesome to load in the press. For some reason just felt smooth. I really haven't noticed a difference in any of them other than that. I don't see a real difference in fmj to coated lead accuracy-wise, and my gun feeds them all just fine, so even tho they're "nicer" to me it's not worth the money. Last bullet purchase was a bulk buy of 125gr 9mm from SNS. As stated above they delivered to a match and prices were solid. I've also come home with a couple SNS certificates over the last year which tells me they definitely chip in and support the sport. I'll probably stick with them unless given some compelling reason to go with another maker, but most certainly I'll stay with coated lead.

I also have a SNS gift certificate to redeem. Would like to use it without having to pay additional shipping charges. Love to support the SNS folks, as they support us.

Same here, I use BBI.

Chandler supports the sport pretty big time. Coated bullet manufacturing tends to be very regional in sales, hence the popularity of SNS here.

I shoot 180gr over 4.275gr of Titegroup.

I shoot 180gr over 4.275gr of Titegroup.

Is that considerably softer shooting than, say, 4.280gr of TG?
