Campro bullets

Are you talking pistol or rifle?
Their pistol bullets are copper plated lead and their rifle bullets are proper FMJ rifle bullets.
Their pistol bullets work as well for me as any other copper plated bullets. I've fired 10-15k of mostly 9mm but some .40 and .45. They're as accurate as I am in a semi. If you're looking for highly accurate bullseye or long-range silhouette bullets they may not be the best option.
I've got maybe 4000-5000 of their rifle bullets through my guns; loaded in .223 for AR blasting and .308 and .30-06 for range blasting. They aren't as accurate as Hornady FMJ bullets and are nowhere near match bullets for accuracy but they work for bulk fodder.
If you are looking at their .303 British bullets you may need to slug your bore and see if their diameter will work for your rifle. Bores vary so much in milsurps. What I can find say their bullets are .311" so should work in bores up to maybe .312-.313". I've had several Enfields that tumble and keyhole with .311" bullets and would only fire jacketed .312" or cast .314".
For their pistol bullets I use load data for any other plated or jacketed bullet of the same weight; never had issues. For rifle I use whatever FMJ data I can find for the same weight. Tweak loads over a chrony as needed.

Recently bought 1000 155 grain 40S&W Campro bullets.
They are okay, easy to reload, are pretty much true to size, and do what they are supposed to accomplish.

I believe their rifle bullets are made by IVI. Decent quality but they aren't match grade and were never advertised as such.

last weekend i tried the campro 308 147 grain fmj with 47 grains blc2 with rem brass and primers. the stag spat out a 10 shot prone bipod steady fire group @ 104 yards into a 2 1/4" group on paper. they averaged 2740 fps from the 19" ibi.
ten more found their way into the mag. three second mag dump @ 100 ish yards 10/10 on dancing steel 16x16" good times.
i tinkered around with my kestral moved out to 580 yards dialed in 12 moa on my 2x7 power redfield battlezone .22 monster scope (just don't bonk the turrets). after missing the first shot i held right one moa for wind, then i shot at steel 16" square, 10" x 6" plates, and rung the steel consistantly.
the oal lengths of the bullets are random .030" variation but the weights are consistant around 148.1 grains. the bullets are near identical to 2155 palma smk in shape, aproximate length and bc. i think they are great plinkers. the norinco copper wash 7.62 x 51 destabilizes and key holes at around that range(500/600 yards). i find campro does about the same accuracy as lake city m80. this was my first load with campro bullets, maybe stick powder/ varget 3031 4895 would make better accuracy possible. i did not do any ladder tests i just ran 1.4 grain under max from sierra book. zero pressure/ feed issues. loaded 50. still have 450 left to try.
campro 26 cent bullets, 5 cent primers, range salvage remmy brass + dirty old powder = awesome fun i'll take it
less fussing more shooting more enjoyment.

I shoot a lot of campro projectiles and have never had an issue.
124 Grain 9mm
180 Grain 40SW
55 Grain 223
147 Grain .308 for the 300 BLK
The are bulk projectiles not match projectiles. For pistol they work just as well as every other brand. For rifle they are good for plinking.

Great projectiles, only ones I use now. 124, 180, and 55 grain and have all shot great. Would not recommend using a bullet feeder though. Out of the thousands of rounds used I have had some mixed projectiles from a batch of 9mm 124’s. Other than that, highly recommend stocking up when on sale.
I agree with everyone else; I shoot 9 mm; .40 S&W, and .45 ACP. In 9 mm I have shot their 115 and 124 gr and they are as good as anything else; likewise with the 180 and 200 gr. .40s; I have only shot the 230 gr. in my .45 and they are OK, but I get way better accuracy with 200gr lead SWC.
I have recently loaded .223 with their 55gr FMJ, and with the same powder, same load compared to Hornady or Speer bullets, the accuracy is disipointing; about 3" at 100 yards; about 1 inch smaller than Federal American Eagle though. With Hornady or Speer, consistent sub MOA.

Funny you mention this, after thousands of rounds loaded of the campro stuff I got 1, 9mm round in a box of .357 125grn bullets. First time it happened. Others may have had it more often but 1 in 20000 + I'm not loosing sleep. So bullet feeder is next for me. Besides I load with my eyes open.
The pistol bullets are as good as anything else for my purposes and the price is hard to beat.
The rifle bullets are OK for making cheap blasting ammo. Equivalent Hornady bullets cost a little bit extra in bulk, but are more accurate in my experience.

They are good quality plated projectiles imo. I load mainly 124gr 9mm and they are much better then the bulk plated projectiles I was running before(AIM Projectiles). They are a notch down from BDX's jacketted projectiles imo but, are quite a bit cheaper and aren't covered in lube, like them, which is very annoying to reload with.
I use a bullet feeder. Never had a problem. Thousands of rounds loaded. Even when I was feeding bullets by hand I never bothered checking or weighting the bullets.
