Here's my review of Missouri Bullets. I bought some of their 115gn 9mm lead rn and they leaded all my barrels terribly. I was going to melt them down until I read some comments from others here about hard lube and it's effects on leading. Following their suggestions to a posted link I tumble lubed the bullets with a 50/50 mix of Alox and mineral spirits and the leading disappeared. Do I need this extra step when reloading Missouri Bullets? NO! Will I ever buy them again? NO! I now cast my own 9mm and lube with White Lube BAC. No leading.

I have been useing their 45- 255 gr. SWC's for my Blackhawk. I use 8.0 grs. Unique and have checked them for speed and i am getting 830 fps with no leading. They are just as acc as my lyman cast 452424 SWC's with the same load with Lyman Orange Magic.

Great bullets, still have a few hundred from long time ago. However, call me cheap, that pricing is no cheap.

MBC gives my club a 5% discount, A lot of folks are buying them and shooting them in the indoor range, I smelt and cast what I get from the range and find the lead to be a little soft. But its free so I cant complain, LOL

I had been buying Penn Bullets 115 gr swc for my 9mm. But they were a bit pricey, and the service was horrible. Last 500 I bought, came in so long after I ordered them I forgot I had. I ordered from MBC, and never looked back, great boolets, fair price, excellent service. I asked the owner about that 115 gr swc, he said he was working on getting the molds for it. I noticed today he has it in 124 gr $128.00 for 2,000. Will be ordering them as soon as I can make room in the budget. MBC been belly belly good to me! :-)

Hey Savage, if you don't mind me asking, what powder charge were you loading with that 147 gr? the speakers on this computer suck pond water, couldn't understand a word you said.

I've bought, reloaded and shot their bullets in 9mm and .40 S&W. No issues with the bullets.

Well being from Missouri I may be a bit biased but they shoot every bit as good as anything else I have bought. They are now the only company I buy bullets from,I also buy alloy from them for my .480 and .500.
As a side note,before you judge range lead,their bullets come in different hardnesses too.

Missouri has the only off the shelve bullet that cycles consistently well in my DWM P-08 that being their cone shaped powder-coated 125g. Accurate, no leading, is easy on the old girl and the wallet, but best of all, they have allowed that gun to be near about 99% reliable!

I shoot Missouri Bullets in 38-55 and .357. Both lubed and coated. Shoot great for me. No leading. I shoot both around 1400fps.

He said 4 grains of Unique

I am curious how you pull a bullet out of the box with the lube groove filled with the hard blue lube and wonder if the bullet is lubed???
I would either get their unsized and unlubed bullets, or their HiTek bullets

They use Hardball alloy, in most of their bullets, so that is not a soft alloy. Even 50/50 with pure lead and you would have a decent alloy.

The posts your quoting are 5 years old. I hope he wasn't holding his breath waiting for an answer.

Since this old thread resurfaced, I find myself compelled to comment.

Now that demand for ammo and components has normalized, my last order came within a week.

Cast boolit basics still apply, proper alloy, sizing and lube.

MBC will sell you unsized unlubricated boolits. I was contemplating a 45 CS and they had the boolit that I could use as cast with tumble loob or run though my own lubrisizer. You can't beat that.

I have never been disappointed in their products and services. I cast because I want to, but MBC has my business when I have a sudden need.

Im shooting the cowboy #6 32cal with as much H110 as I can stuff behind it in my 327 Federal magnum with CCI small pistol mag primers. I have no leading issues in any of my guns! Good stuff!
