sources of commercial cast bullets: who do you use?

by cable, Tuesday, November 18, 2014, 20:57 (3646 days ago)

most of those i have used in the past, especially for unusual , less common items, are no longer there.

most recently montana bullet works did good work but he is closing down. got some from him in september and i think that is it.

who do you use ? who do you like ? what sources do you know?

has someone he highly recommends. He'll have to give you the contact. Penn Bullets was always good for me but I haven't bought anything from them lately http://www.pennbullets.com/ I use my own cast stuff now days. There are lots of other suppliers but I don't have personal knowledge.

I didn't know MBW was out of business. I am sorry to hear that.
I have been casting as much as I can but the last time I purchased (more than 1.5 years ago), I purchased Penn Bullets. He makes a quality bullet. It has been some time since I ordered from Penn Bullets but be careful. The bullet quality was great but the price I agreed to pay was not what I was charged. At that time, Penn Bullets would list a price and hide a market-type price bump (based on a percentage) in some notes section of the website. I thought that was pretty shady. Again, it has been awhile but business practices like that don't leave my memory.

May - 2013 Update

During these high demand times ALL prices will be raised up to 10% over posted prices until the panic subsides.

Matt's Bullets, Mt Baldy, are my latest sources.

I know Matt is still in business. http://www.mattsbullets.com/ Mt Baldy is apparently gone! I liked that guy and great bullets.

Unfortunate about Montana closing.

Most of what I get is scrounged at gunshows or auctions. There's a few guys on GunBroker that I have used. Anything in particular you're looking for?

right now need 120 gr flat nose for the 25/35

Bullshop in Montana

by Dave B @, Alamogordo New Mexico, Wednesday, November 19, 2014, 13:00 (3646 days ago) @ cable

Daniel operated out of Delta Junction for a good many years, he has since relocated to Montana. His bullets are some of the best I have ever used, he will adjust the BHN if you ask. He casts for a lot of "obsolete" calibers, and is just an all around great guy.

I have ordered several time from Matt's Bullets and have been very pleased. His bullets are hand cast of the proper alloy and have a very good lube.

his website looks very good, and i just dont have time

High quality bullets, good lube, fantastic service, and excellent prices. The more unique bullets that they don't offer, I cast myself...

they look good and have 25 caliber and coated bullets

Anyone know if BRP is still in business?

by rob @, Saturday, November 22, 2014, 12:41 (3643 days ago) @ cable

I used buy those for .45 Colt before I started casting. That's before it was sold (I think to someone in...I think...Montana). Best cast bullets I've ever seen in my life and I've never cast a bullet that pretty no matter how much I've learned or tried over the years. I was highly impressed. I'd be tempted to buy them today simply because I don't have the time I did back then for casting.

i thought they went out of business or were sold? i used
