Anybody know what's going on with him? Is he accepting new orders now? I've been trying the link to the marlin forum and that entire board is down-- at least I cant find them anywhere???

Stonewall bullets were getting really beat up over accuracy on a few other boards. Does anyone here have any accuracy reports? (9mm and 45)

The Marlin forum has been down for a few days. At last report, he was sold out until about the end of this month.

As for reports of poor accuracy, that all depends on who is reporting it and how they loaded the bullets. He's casting his bullets from wheelweights, so the velocities should be kept in the medium range. If they are pushing them to magnum velocities, in poorly fitting bores, then yes, they're going to get poor accuracy. I prefer to make my own judgements in those areas.......

Hope this helps.

I agree....

I was just hoping for some insight from more people that have used them..

I've been looking for a way to get hold of Stonewall too. Don't they have a phone number?

He's a one man operation and he does have a phone number, which is listed on this website: http://www.marlinowners.com/board/viewforum.php?f=67 The only problem is, the website has been down for several days, and still is.

That is his correct e-mail address. I just received 1,500, 230-grain, RN, from him yesterday. It was six days from when I put the MO in the mail to receiving the order.

Haven't shot any yet, but they measured out true and weights were good. They appear to have been tumbled in something after casting. Sprue and casting marks are very hard to spot on most of them.

Ran off 100 rounds on the progressive press after dinner and they look and feel good.

Price is right - paid $72 shipped for 1,500.

I'll post again after I get to shoot them.

My 4-year-old really likes them because he uses red wax...

I also just ordered 1000 9mm 125gr and 750 230gr in 45 from him for 71.50 shipped. Just email him to see what he has in stock. Prices are very good and so is the quality.

Seems to be a very good guy. Great prices, and he sent me $1 back in the box, due to his error in a posted price. Prompt delivery. Recommended.

I have shot his .45 200 gr Swc and 230gr Rn also in .45. No leading . Bullets are a little sticky but if they don't cause leading who cares. Not bad accruaccy. Just ordered some 9mm will see how they shoot.

I've ordered 9mm in both 125gr and 147gr, .45 in 215gr and 250gr, and .45 ACP in 200gr SWC. All have been extremely accurate in my normal 750-950 fps range. I've been extremely pleased with his bullets. He tumbles them with Alox so that's why they're sticky. They may not be as pretty as the big casters, but they shoot great.
