Marstar's Frontier Bullets

[scottshotz]

Was looking on the Marstar Website at the Frontier bullets in quantities of 1000, seems like a reasonable price. Not sure what the FP and the RN designations refer to but the picture shows either a flat nose or rounded nose profile. Which is better for what? Anybody like this brand of bullet and why?

Thanks

You figured out the designations just fine. They are RN for round nose and FP for flat point.

I have yet to try the RN, but have almost used up a box of the FP in .45. They are very good value for the money and I plan on buying many more boxes. Good QC on them and they seem to be very consistant in weight.

As for application of the two types, I don't know ballistically but the RN tend to feed easier in all types of guns due to the round nose. I've been told that the 1911s don't like the FP at all and won't feed more than 20%. I have a Glock and haven't had a problem yet. If your gun is choosy about the ammo shapes it will feed, I would try the RN first.

I use the RN 110G CMJ's in my 30 M1 Carbine.

Alll good!

I love the Frontier 9mm 115 gr. RN in my NP29. Just a great bullet to reload and shoot. Enjoy their great prices.

The flat point bullets seem to make cleaner holes in targets, other than that feeding & reliability can be big differences.

Does anyone in BC handle them? I'd like to try some of the heavy .30 cal bullets, 220 and 260 grain.

I always use RN when availabe...imo they feed more reliably.

I use the rn in 9mm,45acp,and fp for 357 magnum love them all great, good prices and constiant enough for me. I mostly do plinking at steel targets and have no trouble with them.
