buckaroo45 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Only problem I ever had w/ Missouri bullets was one batch that the lube had kinda dried out and was crumbly. Made a helluva mess. Wife hollered. Me on hands and knees cleaning up. Haven't been back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I used to use 4.2 of Clays with their 200 gr LSWC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWFAN Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Yep, shot those for a while before I got tired of the leading (in EVERY bullet of theirs i tried), the lube is too hard. Went to BBI and havent been back to bare lead since. 4.2 gr of clays was the load. Probably made powerfactor but dont have exact chrono data.

fatman73 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I've used them they have a cannelure that i really didn't like. more of a cowboy bullet to me but they did shoot fine. I had got them to load for a friends xd he changed his mind about reloading and i was stuck with 1000 of them and the bill. I had to seat them past the cannelure to get proper function around 1.19 to run in my 1911's and P220 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost21 Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 Thanks guys! I've just started using Missouri bullets, My first were the 147s in 9mm. Shot great out of my G35 with LW 9mm conversion barrel. Since I have used all my 200gr SWCs ,And Missouri was out of their 200swc ,I decided to try these. BTW I'm using 4.0 grs of VV N340 under the 9mm 147s and Have not experience any leading , I've put about 300rds down the tube! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatman73 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I've never had leading from their bullets.They make a hard bullet. I'm new to casting and the bullets I'm making now are nowhere near as hard and my barrel is clean . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8ring Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 The Missouri Bullet 200gr rnfp leaded my SW625 worse than any other bullet I have ever used in that revolver. I used them for practice when 200gr round nose bullets were not available. I used 4.8gr American Select and Federal LP primers.. I attribute the problem to the narrow bearing surface and whatever lube they use. I will try the remaining ones in my CZ97. I hope they will feed OK in a semi-auto. Chris .

MGMorden Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I've used them they have a cannelure that i really didn't like. more of a cowboy bullet to me but they did shoot fine. The ring is a lube groove, not a cannelure. Even on a revolver you don't crimp into the groove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatman73 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Silly me seems like it would have lube in it then. But I know you don't lube a cannelure you crimp into it well I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGMorden Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 My mistake. That's what I get for looking at the tiny pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 These people have some nice 200 gr LSWCs. http://www.bulletworks.com/bulletworks/bullet_prices.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost21 Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 I know the RNFPs are for 45colt,But when I ordered these were all out of 200 and 185gr SWC. They were not in rotation of being casted at that time. So I went with the RNFP, The 147s I ordered for my G35 with 9mm conversion barrel . Eat the 9mm 147gr FPs no problem, No signs of leading after 300rds.Hope I can say the same for the 200gr RNFP out of my springer 45. :Loading 200rds tonight ,will post with results when I get a chance to go to the range!

ghost21 Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 Finally had time to test the 200gr RNFP ! Groups were decent, All shots were inside a circle the size of a baseball at 15yrds,(offhand) recoil was not powder puff, but not factory either ,didn't run them over a chrono. Load I am using is 200gr RNFP mixed brass Fed LPP 4.0 grns Titegroup As soon as I can I will run them over a chrono. But I think this is going to be a good load, Just have more testing to do. BTW after 200rds,No sign of leading! Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
