Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Western Bullet Company

Two weeks ago I placed my first order with Western and I have to say I am very pleased. I ordered some .38 150 gr. SWC and .44 250 gr. Keith-type SWC's.

They completed the order in a very timely fashion and the quality looks excellent. I will definitely be ordering more from them.

You had much better luck than me Pastor.

I've ordered from them before. Good prices, decent quality, but pretty slow on the service at times.

My last batch(44 Lyman/Keiths, last year)from them measured about 14 with an LBT tester if that matters to anyone. A little on the soft side for full tilt H110 loads.

I have been using them for years with complete satisfaction.

I am loading them in my .44 Special in front of 8 grs. of Power Pistol.

I also bought cast bullets from them with mixed results. Most of the time they were good but, I also got them a bit under par. [not well lubed and some wrinkled] Maybe I am a bit "picky". I called to tell them the problem I had with the bullets and was told that he would send some more to replace the ones I had a problem with on my next order. Long story short, I don't think I want to order more without them making good on the bad ones first. This is not meant for bashing. I am just relating my experience.

In my case it was a batch of 452664 for the 45 colt. Showed 'sold' when I ordered them but it took a Paypal dispute to get them shipped. When finally received they were undersize and literally the worst shooting bullet I've ever used in a proven accurate revolver.

Too much bad juju, won't be ordering from them again. Again, not bashing but relating my experience.

That would be a good load, have you used it before? I've only tried Power Pistol in the 45 Colt, same charge weight as Unique with a little more thump and accuracy on par.

I only had to back off 1.5 grains with the H110 load in the 44 mag with the "soft" bullets and it behaved fine.
