If you want a jacketed bullet, for 9mm 147gr, here is what I have used.
Montana Gold - $110 per 1000 (must buy 3000 for this price)
Precision Delta - $(101 per 1000 but discount available if buying > 6000)
But I'm now using a MOLY coated bullet (basically lead, with a hardened cover to reduce smokiness).
Bear Creek, $72.50 per 1000, discounts available for more than 10,000.
Saving almost $30 per 1000? No brainer for me, moly all the way.

I like the Rainier 147 RN-FP for 9mm
In 30-30 I use Magnus cast bullets. I use the 100 RN-FP, 115 RN and 150 FP and get very respectable accuracy with all three.
I don't load the others.

I use which ever bullet I get the best deal on.
9mm 124 gr
38 special 150gr
40SW 180 gr
5.56 55 gr
30-06 150 gr
7.62x39 150 gr Are you kidding I buy the cheap commie ammo.
Once I find a bullet that works in my gun(s) and is accurate, I'm done looking for deals and use that.
I used mainly Zero and Berrys for handgun and Remington/Winchester/Hornady/Sierra for rifle.

I recently started using Xtreme bullets from Tjconevera in 9MM (124gr) and I am having the same great results as when I was using the MG 124gr CMJ.
Will be trying the Xtremes soon in 45 ACP.
Primarily:
9mm - 125gr LCN MasterCast (IL)
223 - 55gr FMJBT Hornady
All others - Hornady, MasterCast, Zero, Precision Delta, Nosler, Missouri Bullets. There's even some Remington and Winchester bulk holding a bench down.
9mm I load free 125 grain home cast, Zero 124 and 135 grain jacketed.
38/357 I load Zero 125 grain JHP's
45 auto I have only used my own cast 200 grain SWC's
223 I load Hornady 55 grain FMJBT's and am going to try Montana Gold 55 grain FMJ's when I run out of the Hornady
Once I find a bullet that works in my gun(s) and is accurate, I'm done looking for deals and use that.
That's no fun. :tongueout:
