Just wanted to say this place is great to deal with. Once you find it which is an adventure in itself i might say, they are very friendly and courtious. Had what I wanted right there and I was in and out in no time. Anyone looking for bullets I would highly recommmend them.

No, just bullets.
I went and picked up 1000 230Gr CMJ's from them. They all measure good diameter wise but the average weight is around 226Gr. Not that big of an issue, but still.
I paid $120 cash for the case which is good in my books, these days anyways...
Reloading went fine, but they seem to fit tigher in the case and crimping some of them took alot of force. However for the availablity, price, and seeming quality they seem like a good deal.
Havent shot any, and only loaded 50 with 4.7 Gr of TG which should give me around 850FPS out of my 5" 1911 which is what I am going for, a more or less standard GI Ball load.

This and another thread both talk about the good service and pricing from AIM in Hamilton on CMJ bullets. Encouraging to say the least.
What I have not heard is any comment re accuracy / consistency of the product.
Anyone got some extensive experience with this product???
If they are any good, they will certainly get my business.... Buying Canadian is not a bad mindset.
In past, Canadian mfg of CMJ bullets had a "less than sterling" reputation for accuracy (or lack there of) and consistency.
I truly hope these folks have got it right.
I will probably pick some up and test them for myself, but any info prior to plunking my money down would be appreciated.

I do but I'm biased. The new second-generation bullets should work great out of 99% of guns out there. That's a pretty tall feat for a plated bullet.
Scotty: If you're having trouble crimping you're probably over doing it. Just back off the crimp until the case wall is straightened out and let case tension do the rest. If you over crimp, you can tear the copper jacket material and end up with crappy accuracy. We've already seen this in a few guys' rounds, and once the crimp was set properly everything was fine.
Good luck

I've also made the switch to Aim bullets. I was using the Frontiers till now, and the last batch I bought, I had to run through the tumbler to try and remove some of the corrosion they were covered in. I went to Aim to pick up a couple boxes, and the shipment was shorted the .40 180 bullets.
Bill went way above what would be expected, and gave me some of the first run 190 grain bullets, and a half a box of the older 190 grain bullets.
I used up the Aim 190 grainers in a match and they shot great. I made up some of the old ones for practice, and am getting really tight groups with them.
I am looking forward to try the .40, 180 grain bullets, they sure look perfect.
These guys seem to be trying hard (and succeeding) to put out a quality product.

These guys are great, very down to earth, very nice and willing to do what it takes to establish themselves.
Obviously, with their operation, I half expected to be treated like crap given they are probably focused on their volume customers (200,000 rounds and up), but its remarkable how nice they are.
They even gave me a full tour of their shop, meet two of the main guys and shot the #### for about 25 minutes.
I will be going here for all my bullets.
