Not a fan of the bullets with lube channels, anyone tried these? Bayou does not have a non-channeled RN, so I ordered 100 of these to try, but not sure how flat nose bullets fly.
I have a 124/125 Gr RN no lube groove scheduled to be delivered very soon.

I have several customers using my bullets with with very good results, some are using using the 138 wadcutter and one just started using my 124 grooveless 124 fp.

I just ran some thru my 550 as fast I could turn the shell plate and seat a bullet.
I use a Lee "U" die as the sizing die and dillon for the seating and taper crimp.
I got no shaving, I even ran some unsized as cast 200's and same result.
I measured the case mouth and after leaving the powder drop it measures .438

I've had the same stuff pulled on some of my customers. Calls to the individual Post Offices couldn't clarify things so I went to the 800 number and provided Post Office locations and Postal employee and Postmaster names who were rude to me over the phone and one who wouldn't provide me his supervisors name (that did not go over too well with the lady taking the complaint). Sent pictures of how the boxes look before they leave my shop and sent a couple of how busted up they look after they arrive at their destination. I also mentioned how much money me and my customers spend each year with the USPS. I was genuinely surprised (in a good way) by the response I received and have not had any issues since.

Anyone that's shot Bayou's for awhile, know that Donnie has recently changed his coating; from what he told me, due to material shortages. Just curious if anyone has noticed any difference between the two, pro's or con's?
Material shortages, as in it was no longer available.
Some users say the new coating shoots slower and some have said they were faster.
Most users seem to be well satisfied with the new coating. Like most new things I am sure there will be bumps in the road.
The new stuff I am using is imported from Australia and has been used there for many years.
I will be a distributor for the stuff in the U.S. And I am working to develop a kit for the home caster to use.
Like always, I stand 100% behind what I sell, if you have a problem call/e-mail me perhaps we can solve it, if not send'em back and get your money back.
Many thanks to all the forum members who have and continue to use the bullets we make.

Hello all,
Just a note to let you guys know that we are doing our best to get caught up with the orders.
Have installed more ovens, have another casting machine on the way.
I am seldom on the forum, so if you have any questions on order status etc, send me an e-mail bayoubullets@yahoo.com
Thanks

If your not satisfied with them, your welcome to return them for refund or replacement.
I am seldom here so it would be best to e-mail me or call me.

I saw two scores of "0" for stage eleven of the IRC. Did the bounty get paid?
No bounty paid there were 14 stages at the IRC this year stage 11 was a 20 second par time steel course -1 for the easy steel and -2 for the tiny steel in the back. Far and near standards was stage 13 and no zeros were found there.
Are the final results posted anywhere yet?

Scores?
They were posted on the match website around 2:00 PM Sunday by Dave Gosse (who helped me in stats) from the range as the prize table started. Thanks Dave!

Well this thread didn't go the way I wanted it to. All I wanted was some fresh input on the bullets as I just ordered some based off the info I researched on this site. Donnie, I am looking forward to receiving my order and trying out your bullets I've read a lot about them. I'll post my results when I get to loading them. I don't understand why some just can't keep their comments to themselves rather than write something they have no knowledge of. If you haven't had an experience, good or bad, and have nothing to contribute, why post something negative? Thanks again guys for the info and looking forward to running these bullets through my M&P.
Joe4d has right to his opinion, just thought I'd try to clear the air a little.

I dunno a company with a very unprofessional websight, no information on the products, outdated molds for coated bullets with unnecessary lube groove that makes loading harder inability to handle demand in a timely manner, and in 2010, "we dont take credit cards" ? My verdict is probably wont be dealing with them anytime soon.
I apologize if my website is not super hi-tech, it something of a work in progress. Send me an e-mail if you need want info you feel is not provided on the site.
The credit card issue will be resolved soon.
I am a small one man operation for the time being, who does his best to deliver a quality product and get the orders out in a timely fashion. Getting a "Cherry" cut to produce a gooveless bullet is quite expensive and I hope to address that in the not too distant future.
As far as large orders are concerned I will only take what I can handle, I do not want to give you a time quote on delivery and not be able to fulfill it.
I do my best to please my customers (whom I am extremely gratefull), but I also realize that I cannot be all things to all people.
Thanks

Is the handguard sturdy enough to be used with a bipod?
Does it have the same strenght as the JP V-tac handguard?
Do I save some weight using a carbon handguard vs a v-tac alu handguard?
Don't know about weight difference, but it is certainly sturdy enough to use a bipod.

You shot autos??? I remember the boys from La. at Second Chance, and they only shot wheel guns!
I am Jerry's brother, seldom have a revolver in my hands :-) I was one of the only ones from La. with an auto.

Barrels are mentioned in a couple of posts and the .38 long slide is interesting in that Jim Clark manufactured the barrel by sleeving a .45 NM chamber and attaching that to a 38 caliber barrel. There were no 6" barrels or slides available in those days so they handmade them. The slide is handmade with the extra inch cut from another slide and welded on. The ramp is modified and a small filler piece is welded to the frame to help the flat nose rounds feed. A heavy rounded crimp also helps the rounds feed better.
I was under the impression that Clark had milled out the chamber of .38 Super barrels, and installed his sleeve.
That would seem to make sense but, in this case it is clearly marked and you can see the seam between the chamber and barrel. The only explanation that I can come up with is he knew what he was doing and it worked.
That middle pic looks like the bottom of the bbl is milled for a "mini ramp". Is there a small ramp tigged onto the frame?

Lets throw a Giles .38 in the mix:
Donnie,
That is an old gun! Is the rib a real early Bo Mar?
That is a Giles rib, these were made by Mr Giles (IIRC). I had it's twin in .45 and test targets as well. I traded them to my brother for something else I couldn't live without.
One thing about .38 spec. auto's, it will let you know how you handle follow through.
Can't see it in the lousy pic, but Mr Giles reamed the slide stop hole, fitted it with a hardened insert and used an oversize slide stop pin. Both were very, very well fitted pistols.

One tip: If you can, polish the strippers with a dremel buffing wheel so the rounds slip off easier with less drag.
And give the stripper clips a shot of Hornady One shot case lube.

Sorry if I do not understand. So when I am shooting my 686 and upon reload, I push the cylinder release, tilt the gun muzzle up and whack the extrator with my weak hand palm, this is where the risk of the 180 is possible? I most always cradle it in my weak hand and place the comp 3 on the cylinder and close the cylinder. I find it very odd that my revolver would end up pointing back at the crowd, but I guess it happens. I will pay more attention.
I think what they are talking about is when the shooter uses his weak hand thumb to work the ejector rod. If your not careful you can point the muzzle slightly behind you.

Thanks for the info guys. I just may give it a try.

What's the thought on the early (all steel) Super X1's. IIRC they were the shotgun of choice in the early days of three-gun.
I may be able to pick one up at a fair price.
Not all coated bullet makers offer a diameter choice...Why?
in 9mm/38 Caliber
Posted
The general rule of thumb is cast bullets should be .001 over bore diameter. Some barrels like .002 over bore diameter especially in 9mm.
With cast bullets whether they are coated or traditionally lubed one must often try different diameters to obtain best results.
