These are an actual jacketed bullet not plated, meaning they can be driven at greater velocity without the exterior disintegrating or breaking thru during crimping. I have used these since they were first developed and extremely impressed. No mis shapen and weights within .2gr. I personally am looking forward to the 40 cal introduction

Oh and I think u have a typo on the 38Super price..I expect u mean /500??

If this is the case, I will buy them all;).I think you meant $60 for 500.

BDX bullets are FMJ, AIM are plated.

I used some of the ammo made with the new BDX bullets at a local IPSC level2 match in NS. Worked 100%, and although I was severely under the weather (I was out with the boys the night before:redface:), I had no misses, and won by 10%:eek:)

Accuracy; very accurate as one 5 shot group shot the previous week at a bullseye 20y match saw all 5 rounds in a straight line across the 10ring:)

Don't want to break the excitement, but what is so great about those bullets? Anyone else used them and do they any better then AIM's bullet made locally?

I have always used the BDX/Combat masters ammo. I have only loaded 400rds in my entire life.:eek: I have shot much of Kurts ammo in the 124gr and 147gr, as well as 180gr .40 ammo.
I have had great results. The new ammo products are what I expected, great quality and a great product. I have had no complaints coming from the users of some of the products I have brought in to NB. Most of my product is usually sold before I get it in...:50cal:

So? In my understanding, BDX are swaged softlead bullets, AIM's are cast using much harder alloy and they are using thicker plating then regular plated bullets (like Frontier). So, AIM made to stand the high velocities just well.
 
You can cast a bullet out of concrete if u want to if you want hard:D but the secret is in the plating. Some manf use a plating of less than .004 and do not swage post plating resulting in an inferior product. We have seen that from an earlier manufacturer, and thankfully AIM has not chosen to go that route. If you want a plated bullet thats fine, and for a handloader that may not be a big deal but if u are using an automated bullet feeder on your progressive, the plating will actually come off in the tumbler with the repeated interaction with other bullets. On a jacketed bullet the metal jacket is at least .010 and I think Kurts is .014. His cores are not soft lead but as hard as any cast I have used, as he was good enough to give me some of his scrap lead to cast some bullets myself.
We're not here to compare apples to oranges, but to thank Target for bringing in yet another quality product for the shooters to make their choice.

Maybe I'm off base but AIm is made in Ontario, right?
and several offerings (the main ones used) from BDX are made in Alberta (?), right?
So I'm thinking they are both Canadian and thats great for us. Period.
Competition is good, especially if its from here.
What I was wondering on the AIM bullets is I when I read their website I could only find info on the 9mm being plated thicker, I couldn't see anything suggesting other calibers had the same thicker plating. I don't think it would matter in my app. but I'd like to know..

It just confirmed my comment. I doubt that people who'll be buying BDX bullets at the Target Sports would be using professional reloading equipment.

For most of us it boils down to the price and the accuracy of given projectile. I believe AIM is still the cheapest on the market for the quality they are giving, but I would like to keep my options open and curious what does additional price of BDX gives me?
 
Start a new thread if you want to debate bullet design/manufacturing. This was supposed to be a Dealer's thread where they were announcing a new product. Sheesh.... Show some manners.... ;)
 
Asking questions about their new product is bad manners? If so, I guess I'll stick to the old one which been working very well for me.
 
Asking questions is one thing. But you went beyond that and hijacked this thread to push a product that you like better. I'm not judging, just sayin'... ;)
 
Yes everybody, there was a mistake. Thank you for pointing it out to us and not exploiting it. The 38 super is $120 for 1000, not $60.

Once again a goof up, someone needs to go home.
