Anyone use plated bullets by X-Treme Bullet Co.? I am thinking about ordering a bunch of pistol bullets from them. Thanks, JamesIII

I bought a box of the 158 gr .357 for plinking 38 Spls out of my Handi rifle.  The have a cannelure for a light crimp and they are easy to load.  I've only played with minimal powder loadings, but so far I'll have a few touch at 25 yds with a flyer inside an inch.  My first loads were running a little over 1200 fps, the next loads I'm going to see how they do closer to the 1500 fps max. 


They are phone order only which is kind of odd these days.  As I recall I ordered on a Thursday and the bullets arrived on Monday.  I'll be ordering more for sure.

I have run the .358 FP over 1420fps out of a carbine and have been quite impressed with their accuracy out through 75 yards.  Their plating seems to be a good bit thicker than others.  They now offer both 110gr and 150gr .30 caliber bullets for rifle so they must be pretty confident in their product.
