    BulletMatch, a Catalog of Cast Bullets

    Many of ya’ll might have noticed that I haven’t been very active on the forum here, and many probably remember a while back when I was asking for bullet samples (thank you to all who have helped with samples!).

    Well, after many man hours of work (300+ combined) myself and my friend have created https://bulletmatch.com . It is the culmination of my vision to see a comprehensive catalog of cast bullets combined with my friend's expert programming.

    I have thousands of samples to enter still, but we decided to go ahead and share it so everyone can watch the database grow. I am still looking for samples, so please message me if you’d like to contribute.

    With it, you can see high resolution pictures and measurements of bullets. You can find bullets from all the brands of mould makers AND commercial casting outfits all in one place. That way you don’t have to go to many different places to get the info, if that info is even available.

    Compare seating depths and used case volume to better assist in bullet substitutions, find a new bullet for your reloading project, or just learn about them.

    We created a lead alloy calculator https://bulletmatch.com/pages/lead-alloy-calculator to help our community figure all that scrap lead that’s been setting around.

    There are pages for removing leading, and gun cleaning, as well as a reloading and casting tutorial we’re working on.

    We are working on the site daily, doing research, adding information, writing, adding bullets, and taking pictures.

    The casting and reloading community was a major factor in undertaking this project. Preserving the rich history of the many companies of the past and present, as well as providing something every reloading and caster can use are our mission.

    Thanks everyone for taking the time to check it out, I appreciate everyone's feedback and I hope it helps a lot of people as I add bullets.

    Fantastic work. This is going to be an amazing resource once we get every boolit ever designed uploaded

    Your site doesn't come up. Just a blank page. What am I doing wrong?

    Not knowing your computer and internet, my first guess is that you have a slower connection. If you refresh the window, usually the missing parts will load. Once it's loaded once, it should be quicker as it will be cached.

    I've got an acer Chrome laptop. Still doesn't come up.
    But it does show up on my phone. Go figure.

    What a great source of bullet info. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into this.

    Thank you everyone for the kind words. Yes, it's a heck of a job ahead of me, but its also something I have wanted to do for a long time.

    Alstep, I don't know why it wouldn't work.

    The new site (BulletMatch.com) is a great resource for all of us who cast, I only see it getting better and better as time goes on and it keeps expanding. What a great idea ! Thank you so much Bazoo for all the hard work you’ve done.
    Keep your powder dry and watch your six !!

    Congratulations Bazoo to you and your team. I know how much work that required and you have given us a superb cast boolit resource. Easy to use and fast. It will only get better as you add more data and features. We all owe you and the team at least a case of beer!
