Where do you get your lead cast bullets from?

grubbylabs · July 1, 2010, 08:33 PM

I found a few places on line but can't remember where I found them.

ScottRiqui · July 1, 2010, 08:35 PM

I like Missouri Bullets. Good prices, lots of choices, quick shipping.

IllinoisCoyoteHunter · July 1, 2010, 08:41 PM

My molds...

grubbylabs · July 1, 2010, 08:45 PM

In that case can you send me 1000 230grain LRN for my 45 auto?

velocette · July 1, 2010, 09:28 PM

+1 for Missouri Bullets. Excellent customer service, very fast shipping and great prices.
Their bullets always hit the X ring too, no matter where you were aiming the gun.

Another +1 for Missouri Bullets. I'm a relatively new reloader, and thus far have been very happy with MBC's 158 grain .357s and 240 grain .44s.

Edward429451 · July 1, 2010, 09:41 PM

Well, my 225 gr LRN 45 comes from Lee (6 cav) or Lyman (2 cav), my 44 cal 180 WC's from Lyman, 232 gr / 245 gr Lyman, 300 gr swcgc Lyman, 158 gr swc 38 LEE...you get the picture, please don't make me list them all

They come from a place where it never rains called the Patio...

Master Cast - http://www.mastercast.net/
NSK

and I've recently been buying from this guy - http://www.grandmasterbullets.com/

He takes paypal and shipping is quick and relatively inexpensive.

Farmland · July 1, 2010, 09:50 PM

I have three different manufactures that I like. Please note I buy them all at local gun shops and I have never had an issue with any of these bullets. I have never placed an order directly with either company. However the places I go always have them in stock. In addition I have never had a quality issue with any of these companies.

http://www.pennbullets.com/

This is a nice Pa Company in Western Pa, near where I live. This has been my longest used brand, since 1996. 380, 9mm, 40 S&W, 45

http://www.missouribullet.com/

I just bought another 500 today while at a Shop in Norvelt, Pa. 40 & 45

http://www.laser-cast.com/

You can find these at Cablelas, I have been using these in my old Springfield 45-70 and they are great.

I have used in the past cast bullets from Hornady for my 44Mag and 38/357.

zxcvbob · July 1, 2010, 09:51 PM

I cast most of my own .38 and .45 bullets from scrounged lead. I buy my other cast bullets mostly from mastercastbullets.com and my swaged bullets from MidsouthShootersSupply.com (Magnus #515). I hardly ever shoot jacketed bullets anymore.

Had a bit of a snafu with mastercast last month but it turned out just fine. It was a large order and was delayed a couple of weeks, and his server was eating emails. It should be OK now.

DiscoRacing · July 1, 2010, 09:54 PM

My reloadin shop makes em for me.

IllinoisCoyoteHunter · July 1, 2010, 09:56 PM

Well, I have 200 grn Hollow points I can cast for you. $10/100 sized to .452 and lubed with 50/50 C-red and BAC. Circle HP or Penta HP's available

Farmland · July 1, 2010, 10:01 PM

They look sharp.

DO you really sell them?

IllinoisCoyoteHunter · July 1, 2010, 10:11 PM

I guess if you want some... I am pretty busy, but could find some time to cast some.

IllinoisCoyoteHunter · July 1, 2010, 10:14 PM

My pet load with these is 5.0 grns titegroup, OAL so bullet is touching the lands, but still chambers fully.

(BH) · July 1, 2010, 10:30 PM

+10 for Missouri Bullet.

They're cheap as hell, and Brad will have them to you in a week at most (I've not waited more than 3 business days so far).

more forty fives · July 1, 2010, 10:49 PM

Over the last year I have tried about every bullet listed here.But the best I used were from S&S Bullets.No leading weight was within .5 grain and the lube was on the bullet not in the bottom of the box when received.Good price and fast shipping.Check them out glad I did.

grubbylabs · July 1, 2010, 11:13 PM

S&S does look pretty good. I might even talk my self into casting my own some day.

jmortimer · July 2, 2010, 12:40 AM

Oregon Trails Laser Cast and Beartooth Bullets and Penn Bullets.

Travis Two · July 2, 2010, 01:31 PM

+++1 for Penn Bullets. My number one choice. www.pennbullets.com

wncchester · July 2, 2010, 06:44 PM

"My molds... "

Works for me.

(I've wanted to use that expression a long time, this is it!)

chris in va · July 2, 2010, 10:08 PM

My garage. I can do about 300/hr with a cheap two holer.

grubbylabs · July 2, 2010, 10:23 PM

Well thanks for all the replies I have looked at many of them and will look at all of them. I might even have to give the "molds" a Try.
