Dardas cast boolets

lonewolf5347 · Jan 31, 2017

I just ordered some 9mm in 122gr. FP in cast.
I been shooting plated bullets for a few years now in IDPA and steel plates been away from cast .
I find plated bullets seem to jump in price and really not worth the saving in 9MM .
I use to deal with Brad a number of year from missouri boolets.I read a lot of good reviews on Dardas: cast boolets any one her use his boolets would like to add some comments.
My pet load now is 135 gr. FP with 3.5 grains of bulleye powder
I think I will try the same load in the 122 gr. cast.
I still need to use plated in my glock any one here shoot cast in there glock ?

Ive shot the Dardas in 9mm. Picked them up at a gun show. Never had a problem with leading or anything and they seemed to shoot pretty straight. Think they the 115? can't remember it was back during the beginning of the shortage.

No problems using Dardas bullets. One of the most accurate loads in my M-19 is using Dardas H&G 148gr wadcutters.

Many years ago I bought several boxes of his bullets at a close out gun shop.

I called and spoke with him about the LSWC for the 45 ACP as I never loaded those before. He was the nicest most helpful guy. he sent me e mails with data and figured my problem was my seating depth COAL was just a tad long. Made all the difference,.If I recall he was or is a competition shooter.

I have his 9mm 124 & 125 RN bullets. Consistent sizing, great price are the best features. In addition, he'll measure your slugs after you slug your barrel.

Dardas is as good as it gets with cast bullets.

I particularly like 126 gr SWC with flat base bullet for less gas leakage.

BTW, Dardas offers 5% THR discount with HIGHROAD promo code.

thank you will use it on my next order with him
I did get the bullets in the other day 122 gr. F.p. for my 9mm I will load a few next week to see how she shoots.
I need to find a new bullet for my 1911 SA I never had any problems running Missouri 200 Gr. SWC until the last box I got from brad.
The bullet see to have a little longer nose about .025 she seem to feed and fail to go into battery NOSE UP
I have no problem with F.P. or 230 Gr. R.N.
I ran IDPA the other day second round out NO BANG gun failed to go into battery .The bullet had a small nick in the lead tip and a nice dent in the brass wall at 6 o clock .
I did some checking the last time I replaced my slide spring 2014 with a wolf 16lb : I run soft ball loads in my 1911
I like the 16 lb spring weight over the 14 lbs.
I was thinking in trying a 200 gr. Flat Point from Dardas
