by cable, Tuesday, November 18, 2014, 20:57 (3663 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?

Lynn is out of business with Dry Creek Bullets but I read he

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.

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

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.

bullshopbullets@aol.com

thank you ......thanks to all of you !

Matt's Bullets

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

Penn Bullets

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.

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 (3659 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
