I like the Precision bullets. The Bear Creek bullets were accurate but dirty to handle (might as well shoot lead) and I have never seen or shot any master blaster bullets.:)

I just ordered 250 of the Precision 9mm based on research I had done. I did not find any negative issues regarding them.

I like the precision bullets because they are clean to handle and shoot well - but they are really soft and you have to be careful when loading to bell the case and carefully align them with the die/case.

I usually damage the tip of a few per 500 when reloading because the seating stem shaves off the nose of the bullet.

The Bear Creek bullets have not been dirty to handle for me. I have had good luck in .40 with them.

I might have gotten a bad lot, but my Bear Creeks were nasty. Maybe I should call them and talk to them about it. My 1000 .45 and 500 .40 Bear Creek bullets are just laying around not doing me any good.

Precision bullets are great. I've loaded a bunch of them in 9mm and .45 over the past year. They've been shipping them free in the one rate post office boxes. My postman isn't real happy with 30 pound boxes, but they work for me.

Just ordered some 147 gr 9mm. Dave, the owner, will email you if there is going to be any delay. They screwed up an order for me last year so Dave sent me 2,000 .45 caliber for FREE. That's customer service.

I have just started reloading Precision Bullets. They are very accurate, gun barrel is very easy to clean after shooting, very reasonably priced. I did not bell the case enough on the first few, and they shaved some of the coating off. After putting a little more bell on the case they slid right in.

Just so everyone knows, Master Blaster's web site is masterblasterbullets.com (http://www.masterblastersbullets.com/index.html)

Anyway, I've loaded some of their 9mm's. I like the fact that they have a 9mm SWC and a couple truncated cones. My favorite loads are the 112gr truncated cone over 3.5grs Titegroup @ 1.060" from my CZ-85 for a nice soft load that groups quite well...

And the 130gr SWC pushed by 7.3grs of Accurate No.7 @ 1.050". Much stouter than the previous load and I only shoot it out of my Sig 226's. I was advised NOT to go over 7.5grs by Accurate's ballistician and start at 6.8grs.

As always, the load data provided here is what I use. I'm NOT saying it's what YOU should use. :)
