Which company do you buy your cast handgun bullets from?

[Cholo]

I have bought many thousands of bullets from Penn Bullets, but their website is down. With a short search it was sad to read the owner, Robert Palermo, passed away in Dec. 2021. He was really on the ball!

Here's a list I found yesterday, but it's 9 years old and some of the casters are no longer in business, at least with the link provided.

For all the reloaders, nice list of Bullet makers.

I found this nice list and want to share it. If you have a favorite here tell us. I have used a few I will name in another post. Alpha Bravo Bullets Affordable Brass and Bullets Badman Bullets Beanie's Bullets Bear Creek Bullets Beartooth Bullets Berry's Mfg...

I prefer Keith SWC's with a flat base as opposed to a bevel base. One company had a gorgeous FB Keith SWC 44, but they were 40¢ each + shipping

Rim Rock Bullets has a Keith at what seems a fair price nowadays.

.357 Keith SWC-FB 170 gr. per 700

In-Stock .357 Keith SWC-FB 170 gr. per 700 (sized .358) OAL 0.740, Meplat 0.250, Nose to crimp groove 0.340

Anyway, any cast bullet makers I should look at even if they only sell bevel based bullets? Thanks!

Rimrock makes good bullets, and often in softer alloys than some other manufacturers. One of my favorites is Desperado bullets. While I normally cast my own, I have used bullets from these two companies if I want to try a new design before buying the mould, and their quality meets my high standards.

 

[Cholo]

Oooo, I like Desperado's 96gr 32 FB SWC!

Thanks!

I get mine from Moyer's because he's one of the few places selling the 410459 and he has good pricing.

Thanks!

I cast mine. I throw a little linotype in with the lead and water quench. I buy Berry's plated and Lehigh XP's if I'm buying.

 

[Cholo]

Thanks. I use Berry's 230 RN in my 45 ACP's. I checked and it seems Lehigh only offers loaded ammo if I'm not mistaken. I took a quick look.

Not that I know of. I get their XP's to load myself. Probably one of the most vicious projectiles available.

Thanks, but I'm looking for cast lead bullets.

I use Rimrock now. Haven't seen a reason to 'shop' around.

 

[The Norseman]

My go to commercial lead cast bullets are:

Oregon Trail Bullet Company and Rim Rock
Bullets Inc., Polson, Montana.
and
Montana Bullet Works, Bonner, Montana.
and
Chey-Cast Bullets, Cheyenne, Wyoming.

Haven't seen a reason to shop around
in 20 years.

The Best to you and your Endeavors.

I have used both Missouri Bullet and Rimrock Bullets for cast bullets in several calibers. Both companies are good.

 

[Cholo]

Thanks, all! I checked out every recommendation

 

[the_leper_colony]

...and Chey-Cast Bullets, Cheyenne, Wyoming...

Thank you - I hadn't heard of them, but I'll try to pay them a visit at the first opportunity!

Oregon Trail makes nice bullets. They don't seem to oxidize as bad as other bullets that I have used. Maybe it's the silver that they claim to have.
I use Matt's Bullets gas checks in my .500 mag.

I've bought thousand of bullets from Brazos Bullet in Texas. Their bullets are HiTek coated and feed through bullet feeders on my Dillons. They have always have shipped promptly.

I mostly cast my own. Have over 100 molds on the shelf. When loading for my grandsons 9mm's, I bought from a caster and powder coater just down the street from me. He only produces 9mm, .40, .357/.38, and .45 ACP. My guess is he mostly supplies the combat competition crowd.

I bought a few hundred of the 9mm and .40 because I didn't have any on the shelf.

I only have a dozen or so. I usually use spray moly on them. I lap my barrels then moly coat them and moly coat my cast bullets. My barrels hardly foul at all now.
