I assume you're referring to action pistol competitions such as USPSA, IDPA and/or Steel Challenge. The answer(s) may vary depending on the sport, the calibre, and possibly auto vs revolver.

When I started competing in IPSC years ago your bullet options were: cast lead, cast lead, cast lead, or jacketed ($$$). I think there were some 'copper wash'/plated bullets available as well.

Now, it seems 'coated lead' bullets are taking over, whether polymer, Hi-Tek, or powder coated. I buy some coated lead bullets, but I also cast & powder coat my own when time allows. I sometimes buy cast lead bullets 'raw' (no lube, no coating & not sized) and finish the bullets myself (powder coat & size).

There are many vendors that you can order cast bullets from, but many have long lead times due to increased demand. Here are some brands I use:
