    They were available for some time. But recently they re developed the coating with input from a few top shooters. And launched their own website.

    I know one of the better shooters who use their bullets. I trust his judgement. I'll use them in a heartbeat.

    I bought 147gr. They weigh between 151 to 154. Loaded to just below specs i used for fmj. Only shot 5 with no problems. I didn't have access to a chronograph. Will test more comprehensive later on.

    Super necropost!

    With my old stock of 124gr frontiers coming to an end, I wanted to know if someone has had the opportunity to compare the recoil impulse and accuracy between the Zero Mike's & Silver Rapids? Price wise it seems to be much of a muchness.

    The 135gr's sounds fun out of a 9mm and according to my calculations, they should also be slightly (8 cents) or so cheaper than the 147gr.

    Difference between the impulse for Zero mike and Silver rapid? Maybe ask your question different. It does not make sense. I would not thing there would be any real difference if its the same weight shot at the same fps.

    The 135gr worked very well and I enjoyed it out of the 19 and the 34.

    I have settled on the ZM 124gr and they are accurate enough and load well.

    Fair enough. Ordered both the 147gr & 135gr sample packs to see how they cycle out of my FA. Curious to know whether I'd be able to pick up the difference in "felt" recoil on the heavier bullets.

    Between the 124 and 147 yes indeed. Especially shooting it in my Glock 34.
