Good bullets, but the company is hit and miss. They forgot to ship me one order until I emailed them a WTF? message. A friend mistakenly hit 147 when he ordered online, so I bought them from him. In original packaging labeled 147gr, there was a mix of 147, 124, and 115.

Whoa, that's not cool.
I just loaded a batch of 500 of their 147s. Over 3.5 gr of Titegroup, no problems.
Got 'em from sages reloading supply. Fantastic company, it's where I'm getting all my bulk stuff now.
Typically, bulk cup-and-core JHPs aren't designed primarily with expansion in mind. Their main benefit is a base with no exposed lead and they also tend to be more accurate than FMJs. They'd have to be tested with the same protocol as self-defense bullets to determine how/if they expand.
It wasn't bad because I was using 147 data, so the few light loaded 115 or 124 I fired were just wimpy. Could have been bad the other way around, but you'd notice the difference between 147 and 115. What sucked was sorting out three different weights.

I haven't bought any for a while, but RMR occasionally has plated 124 grain FP .355 bullets for about $81/1000. I like the FP because it cuts a cleaner hole in the targets. Sitting on about 2.5 K of them. Using 5.4 grains of BE-86 yields about 1125 FPS in a G19, good function, and enough accuracy for my needs.
I order Xtreme plate bullets online most of the time and they work just fine. I order from RMR as well. Good experiances with both companies.
