Matt's Bullets?

[Naphtali]

I gave a non-caster friend 50 bullets I cast from my Saeco single-cavity 300-grain 454 (#058, 454 SWC-GC) mold - lubed with LBT Blue, bottomed with Hornady 45-caliber gas checks. He likes them and asked me to make several hundred for him. I told him I would not undertake such a large job and suggested he make his own. He emphasized he didn't want to cast bullets.

He did an Internet search and identified Matt's Bullets, somewhere in Missouri, as selling this bullet at reasonable cost. I looked online and made an email query. There are many differences in his 300-grain 454 (#058, 454 SWC-GC): different lead mix heat treated for hardness; different lubricant that is somewhat harder than LBT Blue [non-commercial]; Gator checks.

1. Those who have used Matt's Bullets products please describe their quality.

2. As a "rule," how significant should my friend the production differences to be?

While several hundred may seem a large amount to you right now, it will not seem so in a rather short time.

Matt's is a great place to buy from. They are very good bullets and very good service. I don't have your mold so I cannot speak to the difference between his bullets and yours.

I agree with Ron, Matt's Bullets are a great bargain and I use them for lower volume calibers which I don't cast for.

Matt is my go to place for store bought cast bullets.

Have shot several hundred of his bullets in .41 & .44, very accurate in pistols.

Many thanks to all of you for an unreserved endorsement.
