Stan down at the range makes nice bullets.
I dunno if he still sells though.

Just got a sample from these folks.  I got 147 .358 flat points for cowboy action shooting.  The bullets look very well cast and uniform.  Coating is very nice. Still need to test them, but i think by looking and experience, they will make clean and accurate ammo. 

Seems .451 200 grain SWC is in stock now.

I bought coated and non coated bullets from SNS casting not too long ago.
They make good bullets. A lot of action shooters use SNS too.

I've also had good experience with SNS coated bullets as well.

I have been buying from Acme Bullets and Summit Bullets. Been very happy with their products. I bought some from DG but found they were softer lead than I like.

sorry just read the subject, cast boolits.  i no more cast boolits in 45

recently I've ordered from Stateline bullets and rimrock bullets for my revolvers.  delivery was pretty fast, bullets were very good quality, but I've never ordered 45 caliber from them

Just got the order in today in the 7AM hour! Thanks USPS :thumbsup:
Surprised that the order came in quick as I got an email that stated 10 weeks and out. The bullets' coating feels very slick like moly but doesn't have a residue. Can't wait to shoot these black lead pills. Thanks for the reference :shaka:

Loaded these on top of 6.0 of BE86 and I clocked them at about 935fps - so I need to back down. Otherwise they shot great. First shot was an X

My standard load is 3.7 grns Bullseye under 200 grn SWC, runs a little over 700FPS.

Seems BE86 is a slower burning powder. Not sure if you can get to that slow, but if you can, might be a good shooter.

=============
never used BE86 but that looks about right
seems like the alliant load data is a little on the heavy side.
I like to run 200swc at about 800 fps for routine practice ammo.

What did you really want to do with those bullets, and what other fast burning powder do you have to work with?

no problem then

I'm pretty sure I've seen load data for bullseye and 200 LSWC written in the bible...King James version, book of Matthew IIRC
