Howdy yall, I’ve not been very active here due to life and working on my website. I started learning programming a while back, and because I’m an avid reloader and bullet caster, this was a natural fit.
BulletMatch.com
BulletMatch was born out of my own needs, looking for bullet measurements for the Lee 358-140-SWC so I could develop full pressure 357 Magnum loads. I wasn’t able to get there until I bought an RBCS 38-150-SWC, which has nearly the same used case volume, is a touch heavier, and has published data.
Bullet pictures with measurements is what BulletMatch is all about, but I also link to cartridges so that you can see all the bullets that are suitable for a particular cartridge. Frank Barnes’ Cartridges of the World is a major inspiration, as I love reading his book and his writing style.
My friend and I have put 300+ combined hours into it, and I have thousands of bullets yet to enter. I am also doing research on the history of many bullets, and on the variations of each bullet. The Lyman 429421 has had many changes from it’s inception and we are prepared to show all the variations. I’m excited about that!
I’m also working gun cleaning, leading, firearms, and history pages, as well as a full reloading and casting tutorial. I have some of the pages written in rough drafts, but without pictures right now, but I’ll be taking pictures and refining the pages as I have time.
We made a lead alloy calculator also, since that’s something that fits right into my love of cast bullets. bulletmatch.com/pages/lead-alloy-calculator
The casting and reloading community, as well as my love of cartridges and the history of casting and reloading are the driving factors in this undertaking.
I appreciate everyone reading and looking at the site.
I appreciate any comments and suggestions anyone has.
Thanks,
John
