Am working OT lately and want to put some of the extra loot into bullets. Soo..who has the most Keith-like .44SWC that is coated ? Or at least who is offering coated 44 SWC's ? The one I've seen has a huge bevel at the base, and a shrunken forward band. The coating may negate these short coming, but..

You might also check Bayou Bullets and Leatherhead bullets (run by firefighters in Idaho).

Google-fu'd all of the above suggestions. After calling Western Bullet last week, several times with no answers, I get annoyed in this day when people are glued to a phone and yet I can't get a live body when I want one. So did call Mastercaster, left a message, waited an hr then called Penn who I have successfully dealt with several times. They now can coat anything they make. I know someone here had a bad experience lately, we'll see. Odered a mix of .476, and 2 kinds of .431's, the SWc and the Thunderheads. Boom-booms to follow . If you run a business, you should have and answer a phone, it should take messages if you cannot answer, you should return those calls promptly.

I do have to add, Mastercaster did call me back, gentleman was polite and professional sounding on the phone. Unforetunately it was 3-4 hrs later. I may try him another time. If I seem less than patient, I'll just say they put the phone number on the website, not me, and that I'm the customer..

The only thing is you have to be patient with him calling you back, as he seems a one-man operation. Cannot beat his price though; 500 370 grain .476" bullets are $79/500 = 15.8 cents a bullet. I've bought a thousand from him for my two .480s and really like these bullets for plinking, as it doesn't "break the bank". I just received some of Missouri Bullets 340 grain flat base .476" and they really look good. Haven't shot any yet, but these were a tad cheaper than the Mastercasts at $46/300, which equals 15.3 cents per bullet. The problem (for me) on the Penn bullets is they're expensive IMHO. Their 335 grainers run $100/500 (= 20 cents per bullet); and their 420 grainers run $175/500 (= 35 cents each). The per bullet pricing doesn't seem bad, but when you order in the thousands, those extra dollars ADD UP, and preclude me from buying other gun related items! I have always been frugal to a fault! |
