The gun club I just joined prohibits using full metal jacket ammo. I have had to buy reloads from the local shop to shoot at the club. What companies make factory lead round nosed rounds? Any internet sources?
Thanks in advance

For shooting at metal targets, I just ordered 1000 rounds of 3-D "remanufactured" ammo from Midway, USA off their web site for a pretty reasonable price that I can't remember right now. They have free shipping.

I have also ordered in the past from bulkammo.com and Georgia Arms.

I also found some LRN 9MM made by Black Hills at a local gun shop. Good luck.

You should tell them that they're responsible for your lead poisoning. Lead nose, especially if indoor, creates a major health hazard. I'm no tree hugger but when PC crap endangers my health I get real mad.

THEY DID WHAT ??????????????????????


I would turn my back and never look back. There is no reason you shouldnt be allowed to shoot FMJ unless their targets are damaged by it. My local range is the same way, they want you to use their ammo so they can charge you $15 a box for lead 9mm. No thanks.

My local gun club has the same restriction. Don't know if its reasonable or not but they told me that the traps can't handle FMJs. Also, the wall at the back of the range is just cinderblocks, which they claim could be penetrated by FMJs. Again, don't know if this is reasonable or not, just what they've told me. BTW: they don't sell ammo so they're not making any money off the restriction.

They had a guy in the club a while back make a big fuss about the in-door range not having enough ventilation. He claimed it was a health hazard. The club had some guy in to take a look at the setup (there is one ceiling fan) and supposedly he checked it out and says the lead isn't a problem.

But I still have some concerns. Would a coated bullet of some kind help? I've heard of bullets that come with black or blue coatings that cut down on barrel leading. Do these bullets reduce lead exposure as well?

Can anyone recommend either a bullet supplier or cartridge loader/reloader that uses these coated bullets (9mm, 124 & 147 gr.).

Thanks!

BTW: a lead nose sounds like a major health problem, indoor or out! :)
