Premium Low-Smoke Reloading Projectiles for Competition & Target Practice
Crafted for competitive shooters (USPSA/IDPA) and high-volume handloaders, Buffalo Creek’s 9mm 147 Grain Red Polymer-Coated Projectiles deliver clean performance, smooth recoil impulse, and consistent accuracy.
Featuring a durable Hi-Tek 2-Extreme polymer coating over a heavy 147-grain lead core, these projectiles eliminate bare lead-to-steel contact. This molecularly bonded finish drastically reduces barrel leading and cuts down smoke by up to 90% compared to traditional cast bullets—making them ideal for indoor ranges and rapid-fire strings.
(Note: These are reloading components/projectiles only—not loaded ammunition.)

Why Choose Polymer-Coated Red Bullets?
- Clean & Low Smoke: The heat-bonded Hi-Tek polymer resin encapsulates the lead core, keeping your hands and barrel clean while drastically reducing airborne lead smoke.
- Soft Recoil Impulse: The heavy 147-grain mass generates a smooth, manageable push rather than a sharp snap, helping you stay on target for quick follow-up shots.
- Cost-Effective Practice: Achieves the accuracy and barrel cleanliness of jacketed bullets at a fraction of the cost per round.
Reloading & Technical Tips
- Velocity Limit: Keep loads under 1,500 FPS to preserve polymer coating integrity and prevent barrel fouling.
- Crimp Guidance: Use a Taper Crimp rather than a Roll Crimp. Always perform a pull test on your setup: if pulling a seated bullet leaves deep scoring or flaking on the polymer finish, loosen your crimp die slightly to protect the coating seal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these loaded 9mm cartridges ready to shoot?
No. These are reloading projectiles (components) designed for handloaders who press their own custom ammunition.
Will these cause fouling in my barrel?
No. The Hi-Tek polymer coating prevents direct contact between the lead core and your barrel’s rifling, preventing lead buildup when kept within recommended velocity limits.
