Has anyone ever reloaded using "x-treme bullets" brand bullets? Specifically the 9mm 124gr. RN and the 10/40 165gr. RNFP. Where do you find the info for reloading them? I am new to the issue and in the experimenting phase but have not found "exact" data as to where to start. And I DON"T want to have a mishap.

Hi I am using X-treme bullets in 10/40 165gr. RNFP I posted the load details for my Baby Eagle further down the page I am using CCI 500 primers and 6gr of Unique, with this load I am able to group within a 1" cirlce at 30' ( not using a machine rest).
Next week I shall move back to 25 meters and see how they group at that range.

I contacted Speer in the USA and spoke to there top reloader and shooter, he gave me a benchmark to work from, Finding info on the 165gr is very sketchy, lots of info for 155gr and 170gr.
I also contacted Alliant and Hodgdon and spoke to them as well, you would be supprised how much they all vary from min. to max grain load, still as I said the 6gr of Unique I know I will never better so will be sticking with that.
When I can put shot after shot in the 10 ring why look any further.
Until recently I had never seen x-treme bullets but have found they are so good in my .40cal I shall not now use anythig else.
