I have heard good things about West Coast plated bullets. When I try to look them up online, I get X-Treme bullets company. Are they the same. They've got 230gr 45 bullets at $63/500 shipped. Can't beat that price anywhere. Anyone use them?

    Shot some 200g SWC today and they shot well. Box says West Coast makes the X-Treme. Mic'd and weighed 50-100 as I loaded. They ran pretty consistent. Want to share where you got that price delivered?

    Same company. The folks that owned West Coast sold out as they wanted to retire in 2005 I believe to a company that moved the setup to Nampa Idaho and named them Accura Bullets. They ruined the bullets and ran the business into the ground in short order. The folks from West Coast bought the company back and came out of retirement to run it. They renamed the company X-Treme Bullets and they are again out of Carson City, NV. I sold their bullets when I ran a gunshop and have used them since about 1988. I shoot thousands of them a year and I have never had a single defective bullet. Good people and they are great to deal with.
