Any demand for 95 grain .380 cast bullets?

[MissouriBullet]

Hi Y'all -

I'm interested in gauging demand for lead (BHN 18) 95 grain .380 RN bullets. We have the mould set now and are awaiting the collator and lubrisizer pieces to complete the manufacturing ensemble necessary to produce these things.

I'm thinking we're going to sell these tiny little dudes in 1k lots only, for around $42.00 per thousand (minus, of course, the 5% THR discount mentioned in another thread.)

We're not taking orders yet but I am curious whether you guys would be interested. Let me know.

Thank you.

Brad

Yes
Looked at your site first to buy some and ended up going elsewhere when I didn't see 'em

I always try to have 95gr LRN bullets on hand for loading in the .380 Auto. I load them to about 800 fps for easy and accurate practice with my Beretta 84 and Bersa Series 95. They make nice tight groups and the brass ends up in a small pile a couple of feet to my right.

Not every bullet caster bothers to make these rather specialized bullets. Another supplier is always a plus!

When I casted bullets commercially, the RCBS 38-90-RN bullet I cast sold very well. I think you'll do fine with it and I agree on the 1K lot unit. With the alloy I was using they dropped at 95gr no problem.

Try a few in 9mm. They are a blast.

Yes please.....get these out soon!

Thanks

Yes, please.... I've been holding back on an order waiting for the rumor to come true!

 

[Arlin Mc]

Yes, please post when you're ready for orders

Just ordered 2000 from a different company last week, and I'll be looking for that more again in a couple months.

 

[sltintexas]

Yes please. I'd buy some.

I've loaded and shot about 100 of that type cast slug in my BDA with good results I'll say you could sell a good amount of them.
if small pistol primers become available again.

 

[Ky Larry]

Please start making these soon. I have a CZ-83 in .380ACP and I can't find ammo for it. At the price you mentioned, I'll gladly start loading for it.

 

[kabrn]

if you make these we will buy

I'm interested in them for my wife's Sig.

I'll eventually get some primers gathered up, :banghead: and when I do I'd like to give some a try too.
I've already got you bookmarked and I'm sit'n on go.

I would be interested as well. Need to keep a supply of bullets on hand for my PPK.

Thanks

Where do I place my order?

 

[orionengnr]

With all the LCPs being sold these days, and the shortage of .380 ammo, I would think this would be an instant winner.

I know I'd take 1000 right off the bat. I already have the LCP and the dies, the empty cases, the primers and powder.

Hey Brad, If you do decide to run some would you give us a heads-up when they're ready to go?

.380 Bullet Availability

Well, here's what I just emailed another interested person who had inquired:

Hi Randy -

Well, here's where we are: We have the moulds and have cast 7,000 of those bullets (man, they're tiny! They look like little molars!). We have the Magma Engineering drop tube, bushing, and transfer bar. What we don't have yet is the M-A Systems collator plate and upper tubing assembly. Should have had it a week ago. I call every day. Today they told me (again) that they would try to get it out "today."

Looks like it will be mid-week next week before we'll have any sized and lubed. But if you check back, you will find them very soon.

Thank you for your patience.

[Randy1911]

Brad
