    .45 ACP 230-Grain Bullet Preferences?

    I'm getting low on .45 ACP ammo, so it's time to order some bullets. I'm looking at these bullets from Everglades; I've used their inexpensive 9mm 124 FMJs and have been happy with them. I'd prefer FMJs, but am open to plated or coated lead. They'll be used in hardball-equivalent loads in an M&P45, a BarSto-barrelled Commander and an M22-4. Recommendations?

    Rocky Mountain Reloading also has .45 FMJs.

    I have bought bullets and cases from them and been happy.

    Coated lead are OK in my book for cost reasons. Plated have been so horrible that I don't even bother with them anymore. Some guns shoot them about meh and some guns (like my 625) shoot shotgun buckshot patterns with them at 25 yards.

    Stick with plain lead, coated lead or jacketed depending on your tolerance for smoke. RMR comes with a 100% positive track record amongst those I've talked to who have bought from them. I've had good luck with about all of the coated suppliers, my current favorite is ACME, but I'm switching to jacketed as my smoke tolerance is dwindling.
