Title: Cast bullet company
Post by: sisu on March 21, 2009, 01:18:12 PM: I ordered cast bullets from this company http://www.missouribullet.com/index.php on 18 March via the Internet, got word on the 19th that the bullets were shipped. Today I have the order sitting here by my side. Had one box break open during shipping, but the other two were intact. This is great service.

Good, you order those. Tell me how you like them also. I nearly bought some for the Marlin but hesitated.

Maybe if they get enough orders from us members they might donate some bullets or something that could be auctioned off for Jesse or site costs?

Post by: CP on April 03, 2009, 10:58:39 AM: These are very good bullets, especially for the price and convenience. I ordered 500 of the .357 mag and 500 of the .44 mag. It took about a week to fill the order but they arrived on my doorstep shipped priority mail. That’s almost 30 pounds of lead shipped for less than $11.

I loaded the .44 Elmer K bullets at the low end of the .44 mag range and they are very accurate with no leading.

Ok went out to the range today with my wife. We only had 44 mag loaded with the cast bullets and the rest of the guns were jacketed rounds. I am pleased with the cast bullets. On the paper no problem at 20 yards, the Bisley Hunter shot like a dream, never will feel bad that I don't have a 29 or 629. Load was 240 grain cast bullet, 6.7 grains of Unique and a large pistol primer. Absolutely fun to shoot.
Our 357s don't handle as well as this handgun, but then again we have self defence 357s for close quarters not a 7.5 inch barrel. I'll try to get some 357 and 45 ACP loaded with these cast bullets soon. I'm almost finished with the house painting so I should have some free time to do this soon.
I'LL GET BACK WITH YOU ON IT...
