    Frontier Projectiles any good?

    Anyone got experience with Frontier Projectiles? I'm looking at their 9mm 124gr. Either Round Nose or Flat nose will do.
    Think I saw another member's post on their .429 projectiles before, that variance and inconsistency got me a bit worried.
    Any indication of yay or nay would be of great help, thank

    I shot a lot of their 9mm 124 RN they are as good as any other 9mm on the market the only one I would avoid is the Berry's.

    Amazingly well coated. I've driven the .429 cal 245gr ones at an eye watering 1700 + fps and never experienced any leading or ill effects. Same for the 300gr at around 1450fps. I've never shot anything with them though, suspect pretty average performance unless bone strike.

    Have you found an outlet for them? They seem to have disappeared from the market, just like so many other items lately.

    You need some of my 280 grain FP cast bullets, this is a Fallow stag that met one.

    Shot 1000s of their CMJ bullets, they are as good as any other. They sell in bulk and their prices are great. Im glad to see their product is being sold in my new home country too.

    You can buy with convidence.

    I was told that the copper coating was extremely thin and thus they would lead barrels above subsonic.
