Summers Enterprises, LLC cast bullets

[larry7293]

Has anyone purchased cast bullets from this company? Their prices seem really competitive.

Yes. Good to go. My ROSSI '92 rifle in .357 likes Donny's 130 grain round nose plat points for feeding and accuracy. Also ordered .44 SWC bullets a different time.

I have used his 180gr .40 and 230gr .45 bullets with good results. They are my only experience in reloading for pistols, but I have no reason to change, except that I am considering trying his Hi-Tek coated bullets in .40 next order.

I tried a batch of his Hi-Tek coated bullets for the first time this past spring. I liked them and am planning to order a couple thousand more in the next day or 2. The first time I got some 200gr SWC for 45acp, 158 & 130 grain bullets for 38/357 and 125gr for 9mm. This time I will order more 200gr SWC as well as 230gr along with more of the 130 & 158gr

... more of the 130 & 158gr

Interesting. What sort of loads have you arrived at for those?

Sounds like a success to me.

I have used a thousands of 38 and 44 bullets from Summers. Donnie is a great guy and his prices are the cheapest I've found for HyTek coated bullets. I shoot a lot of his 130gr and it is as accurate in my 38s and 357s as anything out there. My favorite load is 5.0gr of Universal for around 1000fps. I've pushed the 130gr to over 1500fps just to check it out and not a problem. Very accurate and no leading. I also had great success with his 180 and 240 gr 44 bullets out of my Marlin lever action. His coating is not as smooth in appearance as SNS or Missouri, but it does not affect accuracy at all. I tried some SNS and Summers 130gr in a side by side comparison. While the SNS did look prettier, accuracy was the same with both. Only negative I can say about Summers is they don't have a big style selection compared to Missouri and others but what he does sell performs great.

Thanks!

I will add Summers Enterprises to the list of reloading component manufacturers/vendors in the "Where are there reloading components on sale?" thread - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...ponents-on-sale.707473/page-166#post-10926817

I have been loading the 158gr bullets with 15gr of Win296 and the 130gr with 8gr of Unique
When used for 38 special they both get 3.5gr of Titegroup

On their website they have a place for a coupon code. Do they offer additional discounts?

I have never seen one. I don't see how he could sell for any less

You could check if they offer larger quantity discounts like Everglades and RMR.

 

[Jonesy814]

If you check the shipping and delivery link at the bottom of his home page it says orders of over 12 boxes of bullets will receive a 5% discount

I never make product recommendations but I do answer, to the best of my abilities, questions asked. I have purchased from this company. The bullets are good, the prices great and the service is also great. That has been my experience. Buy with confidence.
