Lead Bullet Company - new to me

[AndyM]

I found this new (at least to me) lead bullet company today
http://www.missouribullet.com/index.html
Their bullets looks good and they are not made rock hard - most are running around 12 BHN

Anybody out there use'em? Their 45-70 405gr. FP really caught my attention. At 200 bullets for $36.00 plus shipping it is a good price for those that do not cast their own bullets. If I can get them lubed with SPG - I would try them in my Pederdoli Sharps. I was using 405gr. FP from Mt.Baldy - but they are 100 bullets for $35.00 plus shipping. Mt Baldy is at a 20:1 mix - so the Missouri bullets look a little harder.

I really want to try lead bullets in my Marlin Guide gun also, and at these prices - an order might be headed their way.

Their .313 diameter FP might work in my 32-20 and their 45 colt bullets look good. For those that have them - the list a 38-40 bullet also. Their 44-40 bullets measure at .430 - I usually shoot a .429.

I guess I am looking for any feedback, if anybody from this group have used them.
thanks...

Those are made not far from me, and the local gun shop keeps some on the shelf. They are good looking bullets and the price seems right. I haven't bought any only because I cast my own.

Well if they're from Missouri they got to be good.

Ted,

They don't have any pictures on their site of individual bullets. Do you know if the .45 255gr SWCS are flat or bevel based?

Joe,
I don't recall. If they have that particular bullet on the shelf, I will find out tomorrow during my weekly visit to the candy store.

Ted,

Thanks.

You guys are so lucky... I stopped by two "candy stores" today, specifically looking for some lead bullets for reloading. One didn't have diddly-squat (the usual condition for most store around here); the other apparently thinks that the price of lead and gold have converged on the latter!!!

Yeah they do Joe but not where you'd think they'd be. Once you get to the bullet listings you have to click on the red avatar. It's a link to another page with the pics you were looking for.

One the website they sure look beveled to me.

cnjarvis,

Thanks. I missed that red avatar link completely.

Yep, they're the typical bevel based jobies.
