I just got a 380 LCP (with crimson trace) and thinking about trying some Missouri Bullets. Has anyone used them with good luck as far as no jams or should i use jacketed? I can get Montana Gold for a lot more money but thought i'd ask.

I'm using the Missouri 380 95 grain LRN in my Ruger LCP 380.
Works well. No jams

+1 for Missouri bullets! I use them for .380 and .45. Both work very well.

Yup, and they'll ship out tomorrow morning. The order came in too late to make the pickup yesterday.

Love my MB .380 loads. loaded as low as 2.0gr of W231 and still get reliable function. Brass isn't flung into low orbit either! :D
2.7-2.8gr of W231 is my "go-to" load.

Hey farmerbuck,
You're gonna like those little Secret Agents (http://www.missouribullet.com/details.php?prodId=107&category=5&secondary=27&keywords=).
I'm gonna try some of those new Parabellum bullets (http://www.missouribullet.com/details.php?prodId=117&category=5&secondary=8&keywords=) in my 380 when I get a round tuit.
longdayjake has some jhp's you might like too.
And he is paying for the shipping for the time being.

Hey ST! Yep, all those look good. I'm suprised not too many people talk about the montana gold bullets. For the price and jacketed, they seem good. I use them in 9mm and 40 and like them. I just hope one of the 2 orders come in Monday. But then like i said, need to find more brass.:banghead:

I bought 500 of Long Day Jakes (aka RMR) bulllets. Fine plinking rounds. Shed their jackets in water jugs though. :)

My(2)Cents and I have been using MO Bullet Company for several months now (for general plinking) and have yet to have a fumble (except for reloader induced:banghead:). We've used .45, 9x19 and .380 and have been happy insofar.
Heck of a value and fair pricing considering many have chosen to exploit the, for lack of a better word, retarded shooter-induced buying frenzy of the past 18 months w/ everything firearms related. Hats off to a solid, honest company.

Well ole Santa made it yesterday. Got 1000 Missouri Bullets and 1000 Montana Golds. He sent them through the mail though. That should last me till the cows come home.

Don't your cows come home every evening?
Or are they off hanging around dance halls and pool halls to all hours?

+1 for MB.
So far I've used them in:
.380lrn
.38spl SWC
.44 SWC (Elmer Keith)
.45 (softball)
.30-30 Whitetail
All have performed well, good value and great service.

I think i will try them in my RP and Win cases where the jacketed Montana Gold are too loose. Might just work.

+1 for Missouri Bullets.
I just got back from the range where I shot 36 rounds factory FMJ's and 20 hand-loads w/MB 95 grain bullets ahead of 3.2 grains ZIP in my Ruger LCP.
There were no failures to feed. All bullets hit at the same point of impact. The MB loads kicked a bit less than the FMJ's.
I think I'm good to load a few boxes to go out and plink at steel and clay targets.

MBC's work great out of my Sig-P238 .380. I've loaded 2.2, 2.4, 2.6, 2.8, 3.0gr Bullseye @ .975". All functioned flawlessly. I was surprised the 2.2gr did! I settled on 2.6gr Bullseye.

I've used MB 95grn LRN in .380 cal and also 115grn LRN in 9MM. No problems at all except for the 9MM taking a very short OAL.

Tom,
Give the 125gr Ga arms bullets a try. I load them at 1.135" - 1.150" with no problems out of my Kel-Tec PF-9 and limited shooting out of my Glock 26.
