I'm a big fan of hard cast bullets preferring Hensley & Gibbs #68 style 200 grain LSWC for my 45s. For 9mm my old favorite has proved all but impossible to find (Hensley & Gibbs #275 125gr truncated cone bevel base) so the more widely available Saeco #377 122gr truncated cone has taken its place.

For those who do like handloading their 9mms, Wideners has a great special right now on those 122 grainers for $0.06 each shipped ($180 / 3,000 ppd): http://www.wideners.com/itemdetail.cfm?item_id=8790&dir=278|281|299. I usually buy in bulk too with the last buy for my 45 being 5,000 cast bullets from the local supplier to Black Hills Ammunition :)

Cheaper or at the same price. Just depends on how many Dardas can fit in a flat rate box. Wideners says out of stock so just providing another option.
