The last two boxes of plated 45-200 grain bullets were difficult to seat. I usually set my LEE expanding die at 1/3 turn in. When I tried to seat my last two boxes 80+ bullets failed to feed. I measured the diameter of the rejected bullets and found that the exceeded .452 on average by .004 to .006 inches. I increased the setting on my expanding die to 7/8 in and was able to seat the rejected bullets. In the passed 8 years, I have reloaded 10,000+ rounds of 45 ACP and have had very few bullets that failed to seat. So this is a resent problem in your manufacturing process.

X-Treme 200 gr plated round nose 45 ACP bullets are very nice quality and better price than competitors. I will definitely buy again.

200 grain RN

Bought these freedom seeds after purchasing 500-357 caliber plated hollow points. Loved them, so when I found 45 caliber seeds, I snatched a box up. As with the 357s, I pulled 25 out of the box and weighed them to determine how close they were to 200 grains. Only 7 weighed exactly 200 grains. The rest ranged from 199.7 to 200.2 grains. I have had worse from major manufacturers. I then measured them for diameter. All were .452. Almost all in the box had slight blemishes in the way of dents. Very small flaws that did not seem to affect accuracy. With my aging eyes, I managed 2.2 inch 5 shot groups at 15 yards, from a rest. The smallest measured 1.7 inches. I will take that. I uses a Kimber with a 3 inch barrel to conduct the accuracy testing. As with the .357 stingers, I recommend these 45s...especially when finding any loading components is an all day challenge for most of us right now.

Accurate bullet. Less recoil.

Feeds perfectly and is very accurate in my Kimber Stainless Target II. Recoil is less than the 230 gr with same load. However, in the last box I bought, several bullets have distorted noses. It didn't seem to affect anything.
