So I fell into an awesome deal today, 200 lead 240gr 44mag projectiles, 150 or so peices of rifle brass and a couple bullet boxes for 500 124gr 9mm projectiles.
X-Treme Bullets out of Reno,NV the box says. Never used this brand before, isn't sold locally and have never seen it on midway. 
Good quality? |

They are TMJ'd just like Speer's TMJ'd bullets - including their Speer Gold Dot bullets and the bullets they load into Speer LawMan, Speer Blazer Brass and Blazer ammunition.
The Extreme bullets have a THICK TMJ similar to Speer's. Some CCI/Speer loadings push TMJs to well past 1400 FPS - like the Speer .357 Sig loadings using TMJ'd bullets. Federal has TMJ's rifle bullets going close to 4,000 FPS in loads like the 220 Swift Fusion (which uses a TMJ'd bullet). BTW, TMJ = electroplating. It all depends on WHO does the plating and how thick it is. Extreme is quite thick - like Speer. |

They are making them for those using them in 9mm Major. He has not loaded them yet, and I am not sure if they are a regular production item either. I have been very happy with their projectiles, and the .45 230gr RN cost about half of what Berry's does. |
