Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) bullets are a cornerstone of modern shooting — whether you’re honing accuracy at the range, running tactical drills, or reloading for consistent performance. Known for their durability, affordability, and clean penetration, FMJ bullets are encased in a copper or brass jacket that covers the lead core, reducing barrel fouling and enhancing feeding reliability in semi-automatic firearms.
At Raven Rocks Precision, we specialize in premium FMJ bullets, with a strong focus on the ever-popular 9mm caliber. Whether you’re a weekend shooter stocking up or a reloader fine-tuning your rounds, our in-stock inventory is tailored to shooters who demand performance without compromise.
What Are FMJ Bullets?
An FMJ (Full Metal Jacket) bullet consists of a soft lead core fully encapsulated in a harder metal shell — typically copper or a copper alloy. This design minimizes lead exposure and allows the bullet to maintain its shape upon impact with soft targets, which is why it’s ideal for training rather than terminal ballistics.
FMJ bullets do not expand like hollow points. Instead, they penetrate targets cleanly and often exit, making them less suitable for self-defense but perfect for target practice, military drills, and range qualification.
Common characteristics of FMJ bullets:
- Consistent feed in semi-automatics
- Minimal barrel residue
- Stable flight and accuracy
- Lower cost per round
Who Buys FMJ Bullets — And Why?
The FMJ bullet remains the most widely purchased projectile in the United States. According to data from the National Shooting Sports Foundation, over 60% of centerfire pistol ammunition sold annually in the U.S. is FMJ.
Buyers typically include:
- Recreational shooters: Those who train regularly at the range
- Law enforcement and military: FMJs are used in most service training
- Competitive shooters: For volume-based drills and IDPA-style matches
- Reloaders: FMJ bullets offer a cost-effective way to create high-volume rounds with consistent performance
At Raven Rocks Precision, our customers often purchase FMJ 9mm bullets in bulk to keep training costs low and round counts high.
Reloading with FMJ Bullets
Reloaders love FMJs for one main reason: consistency. They seat easily, deliver reliable chamber pressures, and are compatible with a wide range of powders and primers. At Raven Rocks Precision, we carry FMJ projectiles optimized for handloaders, including options with cannelures for secure crimping.
Key Considerations for Reloaders:
- Weight Options: 9mm FMJ bullets are available in 115gr, 124gr, and 147gr. Lighter bullets like 115gr are common for practice, while 124gr offers better recoil balance.
- Materials: Our bullets are primarily copper-jacketed over lead cores. No steel-core options, making them safe for indoor ranges.
- Base Style: Available in both flat base and boat tail, though flat base is more common in pistol calibers.
- Cost-Per-Round: Buying in bulk (e.g., 1,000-round boxes) can lower the cost to as little as $0.08–$0.12 per bullet, depending on current market conditions.
