Description
These jacketed hollow-point (JHP) bullets from Zero are an inexpensive option for handloaders who prefer to home-brew their defense ammunition or just desire a clean-firing solution for their practice loads. These bullets measure .355 inches in diameter and weigh in at 147 grains which is appropriate for crafting smooth-recoiling match rounds as well as subsonic ammo for suppressed shooting. The heavy weight also matches the most popular self-defense choices in 9mm Luger and .357 SIG which routinely outperform other weights in terms of penetration and expansion width; Zero’s hard copper jacket can withstand high velocities in both calibers.

This JHP design features a deep cavity, narrow mouth, and petaled skiving which is folded deeply into the lead core. Upon impact, this construction promotes dependable expansion at a variety of velocities for optimum cavitation and energy transfer which for efficient threat-dropping performance. The bullet’s long, curved ogive is shaped for easier feeding while its enclosed base cuts down on lead residue left behind in the pistol. Zero Bullets is a U.S. based company that offers both component projectiles and finished ammunition. As a small outfit, they are recognized by reloaders for their affordable prices and consistent uniformity.
