Montana Gold Bullets

[Roguestryker]

I am looking for a "less" expensive range/practice bullet in .45. Anyone have experience with Montana Gold Bullets, specifically for shape, and plating consistency info.

Any other ideas as well. Thanks, Sean.

Can't necessarily say less expensive, but they are a very good bullet. I have been using them in .45 ACP both 200 and 230 grains for several years. Very consistent and of high quality. A lot of USPSA shooters use Montana Gold.

I use them in .45 and .38 Super and they are excellent bullets.

I shoot them in 9mm 124gr and 40S&W 180gr. I like them over any other bullet I have shot (Winchester, Berry's and Hornady). If you buy in bulk price is reasonable.

Check out the Precision 'Black Bullets'. I've been using them in my .45ACP for many years in competition. Get the 200gr LSWC. The Montana 230's just don't do it for me, except in my revo downloaded to a low PF.

I've been shooting Montana Gold .45 230 gr JHPs and 9mm 124 gr. JHPs for years with excellent results. Also the .45 230 FMJs and 9mm 124 FMJs. They are very economical when bought in case quantities and very accurate. They are brass jacketed, not plated.

Note: Your mailman will hate them because they ship a case of bullets in the USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate large box which weighs only a little under 70 lbs.

I just finished working up a load with them, first case for me, very happy so far! I will definitely order more!

Montana Gold 230 gr. FMJ 13 gr. AA#5 4" 20 Shot group rapid fire @100m

Montana Gold 230 gr FMJ is the most accurate bullet I have found for this rifle.

Also worth checking out Precision Delta for components.

only down side is minimum order of 2000, but you can split into different weights by the 1000.
