Xmetal Bullets for reloading... Two Strikes, and they are out!

Then buy the bullets cheap if they are so good; my loss... and I will be glad to see them gone. If they don't sell, I will sell them for scrap... which is what they are.

I don't shoot .40 but that doesn't matter Mark because they've been marked as SPF on G0C. You should have sold the gun instead of the bullets, lol.

Nope, keeping the gun; I have lots of ammo that it will shoot. The .40 cal mouth-pieces here, unwilling to anti-up for a "good deal" missed out to someone on the "other" forum to whom I gave full disclosure.

Like I said in a previous post; they must work for some one in some guns, or they would not have invested in making them. 9mm may be OK; I'm not going to try. Funny that more than one dealer I buy from no longer will carry Xmetal .40, and a couple no longer offer their .45s either????
 
Mark just wants the attention. He posted this.. After again let a long winded negative experience to tell people not to use them.

You must have shares in the company;D; I'm talking about reloading components; take my statements in context. Bottom line; their reloads do not work for me; everyone else's do. on the "other" Canadian Forum; I was not alone in my experience.

Had I tried their factory loads, and they worked, and I had reloaded for the first time with their bullets and had bad results; I would suspect it was me. Having reloaded since about 1975, and reloaded a lot of calibers (pistol and rifle) with a lot of different components and with good to great to excellent results; never as uniformly s****y as their components.

And by using their bullets, It makes them their reloads. Except He is the one that are reloading them. So they are his reloads. Not X Metal.

It is possible that they have an extra resize process for the loaded ammo. Likewise, in the industry, it is not uncommon for a manufacturer to keep the best components for use in their own processes; Lesser quality for OEM service parts, and lesser quality yet for private label/off brand third party sales. Sorting for diameter using pneumatic or optical sorting equipment is fast, efficient and cheap.

I did remove the decapping pin from both my .40 and .45 dies, and resized some. It took a lot of force, it took a lot of time (adding an extra process) but the ammo shot fine. At the time I was using an old Lyman Turret press, and it was slow doing the three processes, doing the 4th made it much less appealing.

I have heard that their factory loads are great; I would try a box or two, but I have never seen them at a reasonable price, and few dealers carry them. I have used some Wolfe reloads in .45, and that is really good ammo IMO. But that was before I started reloading.

It's the same components that hes calls ####ty. That he had enough of.

And someone reloading since 1975 would know if you're shaving bullets, you don't have enough fare. So take Marks experience with a grain of salt.

Im up to 5000rds of 124grn Xmetal with no issues, no shaving and very little leading.
 
I have loaded and shot 15 k of the 40 cal 180 gr. and about 10k of the 124 gr 9mm. Once I got the right amount of case bell right no reloading issues. No feeding issues in my CZ, and sigs for both cal.
