Keith Bullet Question???

[LAH]

Is the Keith Bullet old-fashioned & perhaps obsolete? I would ask the same for the Gould style?

You guys are among the best I've read so give me your thoughts. Thanks & God Bless.

I hope not.....I just bought a new RCBS 38-150-SWC.

Creeker... You are kidding right?

[woody1]

Huh??

They will be when the 30/06 becomes old fashioned and obsolete.
My older boys think I am old fashioned and obsolete but I think I still have a few good shots left.

The Keith boolit is not obsolete.
It is perfection.

[44man]

That boolit will never go away and rightly so. It has faults but is still a good boolit.
Besides that it looks good. With some guns I have to wonder if that is the best trait?
Other guns like them.

If Elmer had thought it was obsolete he would have come up with something better.

[mdi]

Yep, just like the .44 Special and .45 Colt are obsolete...

[Blammer]

yea they're obsolete don't let the old fogies fool you. The new rage is trun cone nose.

[degruix]

There are better designs then Keith's out there now.

You can't stop progress...

[Bullshop]

But the trun cone looks so naked.

[44man]

There are better designs then Keith's out there now.

You can't stop progress...

Personally, I want the boolit nose to center everything but I have made the Keith shoot but OH MY, it can be hard and depends on the gun too.
I have become too old and lazy to work with them for a year or to find the perfect gun.

June 2000 was a time of great change in my life. It was then I was married. It was then I really found the internet. It was then I found a real need for someone willing to cast & sell a Keith bullet.

AND it was in June 2000 I was told by maybe the best know & most respected gun rag writer that the 45 Colt, 260 Keith, the 335 Keith, & the 360 Gould style were old-fashioned & perhaps obsolete.

[stubshaft]

Like Degruix said there are better designs that offer easier centering and wider meplats for better terminal performance.

Common knowledge in 1960 was that cast bullets were obsolete

I wont dispute 44man as his groups speek for themselves. From my shooting the keith style boolits in .44, they shoot very well and kill very well.
I have a few styles and most shoot well but none -out- shoot the Keith.
I dare say not obsolete but could be out of fashion.
But then again I am obsolete and out of fashion.

[fredj338]

Nope, maybe not in vogue, but not obsolete either. Really, to many, shooting an all lead bullet is obsolete.

[MtGun44]

LOL! You've GOT to be kidding.

Yep, obsolete, but on the other hand if I shoot them in My OM Flattop .44 mag then there brand new. Dennis
