9mm 135 Gr. RN - Sized to .356 (Typical) Other sizes available upon request call or email for options.
An excellent mid weight bullet popular with USPSA shooters.
Very nice mid-weight bullet ! I ordered a 1000 of the Bayou 135 gr. LRN bullets to try in my 9mm 1911's for IDPA . I usually load 147 gr. bullets and up till now had not found a 135 gr. bullets that was accurate in my pistols . I'm not sure what the difference in the Bayou 135 gr bullet and the other 135's I've tried but these bullets really shoot ! I also like the felt recoil this bullet generates at 130 PF. I'd also like to mention that both my orders were at my doorstep less than a week from when I placed my order online .

I've been experimenting with 124/125 to 147 grainers for my 9 mm then came across these 135s. They seem to be the perfect match for making minor in my 929 revolver. I use them with VhitaVhouri for 130 power factor and the recoils is better than 125s and close to the 147s.

I have made several purchases from Bayou Bullets. Their bullets are always top quality. This order was for 9mm 135s. Their communication is excellent. Buy with confidence from this company. Unknown on 8th Dec 2015
Looks and shoots clean, no dirty fingers. Also, got great service when I redeem my certificate from Indiana USPSA match. Thank you Bayou for your support of the sport. Rooster on 2nd Dec 2015
This bullet has solved my problem. Gun, a new 9mm compact 1911, performed best with a heavier bullet, but a flat point 147 grain just wouldn't feed 100%, Even only 2 or 3 jams in a match was minor disaster. The profile of this bullet feeds, 100% so far, is accurate, and cuts a nice hole,
My prior experience with other Bayou Bullets is consistent with this bullet. There is virtually no deviation in weight among the lot. I haven't ever seen any poorly cast bullets. I am a happy camper. Mike Stevenson on 1st Dec 2015
This is a great product. I have shot these with both Tite Group and 320. They are very consistent. Never a problem. Rick Noeth on 24th Nov 2015
Clean shooting and reloading. Have been using it for a year now without any issues. Makes shooting more affordable without compromising much. Unknown on 19th Nov 2015
I've loaded and shot a couple thousand of these 135's and just received the 3300 round bundle. I'm switching from shooting 124 and 147 grain plated. This is a nice in-between load as other reviews have stated. It's accurate and knocks down steel well at minor power factors. Recoil seems to be right where you would expect - between 124 and 147 grain in terms of snappiness.
I'm shooting these out of a Glock 19, a Sig 229, a Walther PPQ 5", and a S&W shield.
I have used Tite Group with them, and it works fine. Now I am using W231 because it was easier to obtain when I needed it. Works great.
I have chronographed using a Caldwell ballistic chrono. Here are some of my results (yours may vary!)...

Bullets are very consistant and go through my bullet feeder perfectly. It was very easy to order and delivery was very quick.
Thanks,
