I can't seem to find anything anywhere in stock...and usually my search-fu is pretty good.....any help in finding some would be much appreciated. Alternately - has anyone tried the 140 gr Barnes all copper bullets in their 10mm? results?


Thanks!

135gr bullets for that diameter are not that common as they are pretty light in comparison to what most reloaders and factories use. What are you using them for? I'm assuming you are looking for bullets to reload vs factory loaded ammo.

Sorry...should have been more clear. Looking for these bullets to use in handloads. The "need for speed" has struck in yet another venue. Looking for accuracy and lower penetration and thought it would be good to try these after seeing some very promising results from others. I have found good loads in the 180gr and 200gr range for hunting.

Doubletap's loaded 135gr version seems to be a top seller....with "Ballistics : 1600fps / 767 ft.lbs. - Glock 20" it would make sense.

Thanks!

If for target shooting, you might want to look at 155gr bullets instead. They are easier to find. Montana Gold makes 155gr bullets that work pretty well.

im guessing you know that the plant blew up not to long ago and nosler bullets are going to be some what hard to find till the plant is rebuilt. i talk with a few suppliers for some chain stores and unfortunately what they told me nosler had to canceled most of there orders since they cant meet the order obviously .

yeah here is the talk about the plant, here is the link to the post! http://www.co-ar15.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24398&highlight=nosler

correction looks like they where able to save some of the machines and computers are ok might be back sooner than they thought, but there will still probably be a delay on orders since they are probably pretty fare behind!

That's nuts about the plant, but I love those 135gr in my .40 loads, berrys bullets makes a 135 gr too
