MemphisMechanic Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 (edited) Never had a problem with 147 Black Bullets and a LEE FCD. I've been using them since before the warning was on their site. This is the first I've heard of it... Are they referring to the Lee/EGW "U" die... or the Factory Crimp Die?

They are referring to the undersize dies not the standard FCD. Edited November 7, 2009 by staudacher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowdyOne Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I emailed them about this before I bought any of their bullets. They are referring to the undersize dies not the standard FCD. Good to know! I would like to try their 158gr 38spec but I guess I will have to get a taper crimp die. The Dillon die I have is a roll crimp.

salilus Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Has anybody got on board with their contingency program yet? I have been thinking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MemphisMechanic Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I have shirt on the way from them. Basics: Buy the shirt direct from Techwear. Shoot in a match which qualifies. Finish well and win 1K of free bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyZip Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Do they have a list of matches that qualify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 No. He lists the criteria on the website, but thats it. Since I primarily shoot IDPA, its easy. The state championship matches all qualify, but very few others. If I were ypu, I'd simply call Tony up and ask. He always replies to my emails, but it can take a while. He's been great about answering the phone during buisness hours when I've called him. Let us know what he says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Spiess Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I know I am really late to this thread, but it seems like folks are happy with these. I did notice a post indicating that weight may be inconsistent. Has anyone found a good reason not to use these? I previously used Master Blasters, but switched over to Precision Bullets when the MBs were hard to get. The Precisions are swagged instead of cast, but I don't know how much that really matters.

Dan Hefta Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) I just made the switch from Production to Lim 10 and needed bullets on a budjet, I know and shoot with Tom and Tony and their BBI bullets are very affordable, I can shoot .40 SW for about the same price as 9mm jacketed bullets. I am shooting a Glock 24, 4.3gr Universal Clays, 180gr BBI and am at 170 PF with no smoke. I am using the stock Glock barrel and have had no leading so far, I am very happy with their product and would recommend them to anyone.

slowhand23 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Anyone know if BBI offers additional volume discounts greater than the 3k on the website? I'm considering 5K - 10K 9mm 130s or more depending on discounts. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuzinvinny Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Just got my first 500 BBI's a few weeks ago. (9mm 147 gr.)So far they look very promising. I just wish payday would hurry up and get here so I could place my next order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MemphisMechanic Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I ordered 18k of 130s two months back. He made me a pretty good deal. I won't post specifics, but I'm glad I called and asked. Email was always answered, bur usually took 3+ days. Calling until ypu catxh him would be my recommendation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
