How are Rainier bullets?? Looking at reloading some handgun ammo and was looking at there leadsafe bullets.
Is accuracy good. Thanks |

Rainier seem to have a thinner plating than other brands.
I'll use them for low velocity 45ACP loads when I find them on sale, but that's it. Like DryFlash, I much prefer Xtreme bullets over all the other plated brands. Xtreme have a thicker plating, very good pricing, and even offer a heavy plated 9mm bullet for hot 9mm loads. Have used Xtreme for 9mm, 45ACP, 38 Special/.357 Magnum, 44 Special/44 Magnum, have found no reasons to use anything else except as stated above. |

Can't comment on Rainier but they don't "look" as nice online as others.
I can say I've been happy with xtreme bullets and if you get them on sale the price is about the same an Rainier. They look nice and have shot as well as anything else I've tried. Xtreme 357 SWC

| Tagged...thanks for the recommendations. I've been using Berry's as a new handgun reloader to get started as they are what I can buy locally. Seems prices on the Xtreme bullets are comparable, need to take into account shipping (but not paying local tax....). I might grab a box or two |

Rainier seem to have a thinner plating than other brands. Bought some recently from someone getting out of reloading. Fairly cheap. I like to barely bell the case mouth so the bullet goes in tight. I peeled some of the brass plating on most of my 9mm. Will stick with berry bullets as I have never had an issue with berry bullets. |
