Hey, this is Bill with Raven Rocks Precision. I’m going to talk about 9mm full metal jacket, or FMJ, bullets today. Full metal jacket bullets—often just referred to as FMJ—are the backbone of nearly all the handgun bullets we sell. They feature a lead core with a copper jacket, and the bases are exposed lead bases. This is different from a jacketed hollow point, which has a copper base and an open hollow point at the tip of the bullet.These bullets are really good for standard target, range, and training practice. Some folks also use them for competition, although many prefer jacketed hollow points to reduce lead fouling when shooting in high volume. For most people, an inexpensive full metal jacket bullet is one of the best choices. They’re well-made, and you don’t have to worry about maximum velocities, especially for handgun use. We currently have several types in stock. Dead Nuts is essentially our house brand—we’re partnered with them—so you’ll see a lot of Dead Nuts bullets available. We also offer other rotating deals from time to time. We’ve had DKC, SIG, Armscor, and MFS bullets in the past. Many of those are available for a limited time—once the deal is gone, it’s gone. With Dead Nuts bullets, though, we expect to always have a steady supply and continue restocking. So, if you’re looking to work up a load you can repeat consistently in the future, we highly recommend checking out the Dead Nuts bullets on our website. Again, full metal jacket bullets are a great option for many reloaders. If you’re new to reloading, they’re especially ideal. It’s easy to find load data for them, and they’re straightforward for building a safe and repeatable load. Go ahead and check them out on our website under the 9mm section.
