I have them, and frankly I LOVE them. Owner (Matt) is an upstanding guy and produces a superior product at a good price. No affiliation with him outside being a customer but recommend him highly.

The attention to detail the guy puts in is hard to beat. The prices, especially since I can pick them up, are about untouchable.

The last order I got, 1000 9mm 124gr RN bullets, were flawless. To the individual.

Post I made recently at another site:

I gotta bandwagon here. I'm really impressed and disappointed at the same time. I've been paying $65/1000 for 122gr TC cast 9mm bullets at my range - and they've been shooting extremely well in my CZ. I took the opportunity to pop by Matt Dardas's place on the way home from a hunting trip this weekend. I'm speechless. I WAS happy with the 122 TC's before now, and although I may not give up on them I wouldn't bet on it.

Let me show you what I'm talking about.

Bullets in "front" with the blunt profile are four examples out of a handful I grabbed. The rest behind them are Matt's. At $65/1000 for the TCs in front I figured they shot well, must be great bullets. Notice the waxy lube on the noses, the divot in the base (harder to see I admit) and the lube poorly filled in the lube grooves. Typical for those bullets, require some fiddling to avoid gumming up my dies with the lube..
I know I'm sounding "pitchy" and swear to God have no affiliation or price break (ahem...) for bragging up his stuff, but there is not a single flawed bullet in the entire box of 1000 of Matt's - for 47 bucks - and I checked! No way! The bases are all perfect. The lube is fully filled, even, and ONLY where it should be. I'll post load data when I work it up, but was impressed enough dealing with him so far to post here.

I'm sure there are other suppliers that offer similar quality, but to find a "local guy" with a product like this, at a price I haven't been able to touch anywhere... hilarious!

One thing I would add is that although cast bullets actually don't have to be pretty, or exactly uniform, to perform admirably as practice or plinking ammo. Why I would choose to buy crappier bullets when I can get the nicer ones cheaper is the better question. That goes for any caster really, not just Matt. But he's good

Thanks depoloni, I sure appreciate the input, it looks like Matt has a good product, I will order from him.
I am looking at the same bullet.
I have ordered from Missouri Bullet Co., but was not happy with the quality of thier bullets.
Thanks again.
