BHN 12? That's a lot harder than 90% of what I shoot, and a bit harder than than the other 10%. Check out how hard the bullets are in factory ammo.....

Pure sh*t. Military and Police load that was a pooch and leaded the barrel at 950. What the hell good is that in a 41 mag. Shot 1 box, kept the other for posterity.

He didnt raise his prices during covid, and his bullets shoot the tightest groups of any cast I have used.
Same Groups as Jacketed, and he is a good guy. I send as many people as I can his way to keep him open...

I had 2 boxes of that leaded my sw bad with 1 box and shelved the other. Sold the second box of them for twice as much as both the 2 boxes cost. Cast my own now..mb

checked the site out but he only has 155 & 180 gr bullets in 10mm, I'm looking for more 200's

Any idea if he will cast 200's ?

I’ve had no leading from Laser Cast with hot .357 loads. For target loads I’ve used a fair number of Hornady swaged without issue as long as I keep the speed down, in the .38/.357, .44, and .45 Colt.

Hahaha!! Don't blame the bullets. Blame yourself for not matching the bullets/ammo to your gun. The same precepts apply to factory loaded lead bullet ammo as when casting/loading your own. There's so many reasons those bullets would lead your barrel, and not the next guy's, as to be confounding. The factories gotta strike a happy medium, and there are a helluva lot of guns falling outside that medium that fall short in accuracy/leading which have throats smaller than bores, throats that don't match the "average", and I could go on and on. Do not put your faith in the factories (or the commercial lead bullet purveyors) knowing omnisciently what your gun needs.

I really like Montana Bullet Company. Have had both .45 Colt and .44 Magnum bullets, with my specified diameter. Very accurate. Pricey, but good.

If you wanted any swaged bullets for 38s I can’t recommend Zero bullets enough. Good jacketed as well.

I like the Blue bullets, coating is pretty uniform compared to some of the hitech coated bullets!
