Anyone have a maker they prefer? Just getting into loading for 357s , shooting out of a Smith 19-5 and a 66-2. Not wanting hunting loads Just something to bang steel with in the 140-158 gr range. Missouri bullet co looks pretty good unless others have recommendations.

Missouri is a great company. Acme is also wonderful and you get your bullets shipped very fast in a nice wood box.

MBC is a great company, lots of others too. SNS is good. I’ve never seen much difference between the top ones. I’d look at price and shipping and go from there. I would recommend coated bullets though.

I like HiTek Missouri bullets. I'm running their 158 HiTek SWCs with HS-6. They are plenty accurate and will also work for hunting needs.

Ditto on Missouri Bullets

Hoosier Bullet Company is just down the road from me. I shoot alot of their bullets and I'm very happy with them. https://hoosierbullets.comHi Tek and powdercoat are two different types of coatings. Hi Tek is fine for non-magnum pistol bullets but I reserve powdercoating for rifle bullets, magnum pistol bullets, and non-magnum pistol bullets fired at higher speeds from pistol caliber carbines.

anyone else think the powder coated bullets have a unique smell when shooting them?

Other than Missouri, try T & B bullets. Plain or coated, free shipping. They work well.

Missouri Bullets and SnS are great companies to deal with and their bullets are very consistent.
If you do what you've always done, then you will get what you've always got.

My last few orders have been with Brazos Precision. They are unique in that they sell by weight of lead, so all packages are the same price but have odd numbers of bullets.

I've been loading a bunch of Precision PC bullets in .45 acp, 9mm, and .38 Special but, haven't loaded any at higher velocities in .357 Magnum. I don't know how much leading I'll get when loaded faster. Seem like good bullets though.
Why do I have to press 1, for English?
