Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns For those of you who have purchased Missiouri Bullet bullets...

How do you get the box open??? lol

I can see the little half moon cut out but when I try to get in that way, the top or side, what ever it is, starts tearing. I can't see anyplace else to open it up but note that the labels are on upside down so that makes my all the more convinced there is a way to open the box that I am not privy to. Help anybody??

Husqvarna is your friend.

The chain saw, not the rifle, right?

At least it's not Partitions.

I can't remember who that was.

Thanks! I'll remember that for my next order this week! lol


Nice looking knife.

Yep, worked for me.. Very good pistol bullets as well.

I’m a big fan of MBC 👍

Even with all that cardboard and tape, I've had those boxes pop open during shipping. Not a huge deal since they're enclosed in a parcel post flat rate box.

Brazos bullets ships their stuff in super heavy plastic bags encased in a flexible reinforced mailer - and they still pop open.

That was one funny thread.

Jello is part of the Blue Tape Group.

Certainly Blue one way or another.

That is funny.

Maybe they ought to put instructions on the box 😁

I think the instructions on how to get the box open are inside the box.

Thanks again. My boxes look like your's now. At least two of them do. lol

How do you like the 158 gr swc's? I've probably got a lifetime supply of .357 180's but want to also pick up some 158's or their 140's.

How many get the "Hi*Tek" coated vs the lubed?

Last week I asked if they would be sending out 100 round samplers again and they said in another week or two they would be caught up and would
offer them again then. I got this last order about a week from when I sent it. The one before that took about 2 months when covid was on everyone's mind.

I like them just fine, since I normally shoot 158 XTP in it for hunting or SD they allow me to use the exact same load with no leading. No I have not tried the HiTek coated as of yet.

I tried HiTek coated in 40sw. I pushed .401" 155gr LSWC to 1000fps (slow to me) and 1370fps (fast to me), 4" barrel, Longshot. Mediocre results. No leading just past the chamber, but leading in the last inch of barrel. And they still smoke a bit (kindof stinky), but not as much as regular lubed fodder.

I also tried .402" 180gr LSWC Hi Tek coated from Brazos bullets. Ran them at 1000fps and 1150fps (4" barrel, Longshot). Better results, but they still lead in the last inch of barrel. Still smoke more than I'd like.

I still want to try MBC's 44mag 300gr Hi Tek coated WFN.

Conclusion: I have only one 40sw right now - need to try another to rule out a bad barrel. Otherwise the Hi Tek coating is ok and less fuss than wax-lubed lead. I don't shoot enough anymore to be concerned about the cost increase.

Leading as viewed from chamber:
