My order was on my porch in under 48 hours. I ordered the 158 grain semi wadcutters for 357 magnum and the 95 grain for 380. I have fired about 100 of the hardcaste 357's from my Model 27. The charge was 15 grains of IMR 4227 and a CCI SP primer. The charge for the 380 was 3.5 grains of Olin 231 and a CCI SP primer in a Browning BDA. I am an average shot with a handgun. I found the Missori bullets increased my acuracy.At 25 yards from a rest,some holes were touching on the 357. I fire my 380 at 7 yards and saw it was the same as jacketed bullets of not a bit better. I cleaned my 27 and in all instances, I had no leading. The BDA had no leading. I am very pleased with their quality and speed of shipment. Byron
 
All the cast bullets I shoot are Missouri bullets, I have had excellent results with all the calibers I load for, in fact some of the loads I use useing Missouri bullets outshoot FMJ loads.
Smokeyloads:)
 
I shot my custom Norinco 1911 this past weekend using the 185 gn LSWC from MB. I shot my best group ever with 4 shots literally going in the same hole from a 25 yard sandbag rest.

Something I don't understand: I received a Midway sale paper yesterday and their .45, 200 gn LWCS's are $62.00 per 500. MB's price is $34.00 per 500. What would you do? :eek:
 
Here's another vote for Missouri Bullets. I ordered several boxes on Labor Day afternoon.

They were in my hands the following Thursday. Great service considering I ordered on a holiday.

Excellent prices as well. I will order from them again.
 
I ordered 1500 bullets from MB and they sent me an email saying that they shipped on the 28th. I cant wait, looks like tomorrow I will have me some new bullets. Just in time for my blackhawk to get here.
 
48 hours for my latest shipment too. 2k bullets total. This was my 3rd order from them and they have all been spot on. Especially with the THR discount. :)

Microsoft (MSN) made me change Outlook e-mail settings a few weeks ago. Because of this I missed MB's e-mail with their 9/11 9.11% discount a couple weeks ago. :(
 
All of my bullet orders shipped immediately, and I had them in my hands within 2-3 days. You can't beat the price. Graffs has them too, but they increased the price and they are out of stock.

I've only shot the .357 load so far. No leading so far with SWCs. I'm looking forward to getting my .380s and seeing how that does.
 
I too am very impressed with MO bullets. Am in the process of working up a load for 158gr LSWC 357 mag loads. So far pleased with 6.2 gr of Unique, but Unique seems to be somewhat dirty. Tried the minimum load from the Lee manual using (if memory serves) 12.2 gr of AA#9 and experienced flattened primers. Not quite sure I understand that. Does anyone have a favorite load being used?
 
Same here, guys. I order, they deliver, I shoot, repeat. Works like it should. Wish other companies would figure this out.

Gee, I wish MB made primers....:D
 
I have been using OT Laser cast bullets in several calibers and have certainly been satisfied, but have not tried Missouri bullets. Any one use both and have a comparison or comment?
 
I got in on the 9-11 special from MB, the order was delivered within 5 days (near the Canadian border) No complaints here.
 
They are fast. I have had some leading on my rounds but not enough to prompt me to play with the recipes to fix it. Just an extra scrub or 2 with a bore brush...

Fast service and a good product.
 
I've used Lasercast, MB and Dardas. All seem to shoot about the same in 45 colt. Not shooting at anything over 750 FPS. Also used in 45 Colt S&W at higher velocity, but not over 1000FPS. No excessive leading for any of them. Missouri and Dardas are less expensive.
