Anyone here ever use LOS bullets before
I found some 9mm fmj bullets for a pretty good price (in todays market anyway). They're an Eastern European company located in Slovenia. I've never heard of them before but there's a lot of things I haven't heard of so that doesn't really mean anything. Is anyone here familiar with LOS. Any good. I don't see how anyone could mess up bullets but things do happen.

How bad could they be? Unlikely that they are significantly different from fmj 9mm bullets made anywhere else in the world.
There are numerous Eastern European ammunition manufacturers that most American shooters have never heard of, yet their products are manufactured using the most modern equipment with quality assurance as good as American manufacturers. Things there are not nearly as primitive as most Americans might assume.

Why buy over seas when we have excellent quality bullets made right here the good ol' USA by Americans? And very reasonable prices.

Very fast shipping, too.

The main reason I didn't consider them was because until about five minutes ago I had never even heard of them. But I do thank you for bringing them to my attention. They are more expensive than the LOS bullets but not significantly more when shipping is taken into consideration. Do you have any personal experience with them?

I've shot 10's of thousands of rounds through RMR stuff. It's my goto for bulk bullets, good price, product is always as described, shipped quickly.
They also don't gouge people during panics. Their price has gone up, but not outside of relative inflation of material cost. Instead of gouging, they took extended backorders and delivered accordingly. That says a lot to me.

I can tell you RMR's in-house bullets, especially their 9mm MPR bullets are of extremely high quality. I bought thousands of them a while back and would buy more when I use them up. I haven't shot much the past 3 years due to illness or I would have been shooting at least 2,000 a year of the 9mm bullets alone. (not counting all the other hand guns rounds I load and shoot) Their Matchwinner bullets are good too so buy without fear. They sell them in lots of 500 to over 20,000. You pay only 9.8¢ for 115gr and 10.1¢ for 124gr bullets in lots of 2,000. (what I bought)
No, I have no affiliation with them. They are just nice people who supply a quality product made right here in the USA.

Everglades is usually a good source for jacketed and plated bullets. Free shipping too. They aren’t competitive on powders and such, but I’ve gotten some good buys from them.

I too am a satisfied RMR customer. Ninety-five percent (?) of the 9mm bullets I reload are RMR 124 gr. JHP MPR, 115 and 124 gr. "Nukes". The other 5% is my cast or FMJ for the range. Good pricing means I can afford premium bullets for range practice...

I use them from American Reloading and they work as well as any other plated bullet that I have used.

VV lists several LOS bullets in their loading tables. It might be because it is a European co.
