jclap86 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Was wondering if anyone has tried the Missouri Bullet company products? If so what was you thoughts on them? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I shot a few hundred 5 years ago but couldn't get past the smoke of pure lead. Great bullets that would be awesome if they started coating them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wvaughn7 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I have loaded about 1000 of them in 45 and have nothing but good things to say about them, but haven't tried them in 40. Great prices and about the fastest shipping I've ever seen if what you want is in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy1629 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I used to shoot them a lot until the coated bullets came about. Normally good price & fast shipping. They used to offer discount codes a lot too that made them even cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 High quality, seem to be (for me) very accurate. I've only used the 200gr LSWC .45 bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I shot a few hundred 5 years ago but couldn't get past the smoke of pure lead. Great bullets that would be awesome if they started coating them Time for you to check their website again. They now offer Hy-Tek coated on some of their products. I just ordered a sample bag of the 9mm 125gr SWC, and a sample bag of .45 200gr SWC, placed the order late Tuesday afternoon and they showed up Thursday morning. Ive never ordered from them before but if I like the results, especially with the 9mm I certainly will again. They dont offer Hy-Tek on all their products yet but I imagine if the demand is there they would. BTW, theirs are a dark copper color, almost brown. Not the "prettiest" color in the world if that matters to anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinM Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I have loaded about 1000 of them in .40 They worked great and a good price...but like others have mentioned...I couldn't get past the smoke. I normally shoot at indoor ranges and the smoke was just too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain037 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) Shot tons of them. Great folks to deal with. Good prices too. Just make sure to chamber guage them before trying to shoot a match. I do have about a 5-10% fail rate. They will still chamber and shoot but you can't clear. Too tight in the chamber.

grouptherapy Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Shot them thru 38/357. Very accurate. Like mentioned before smoky. That's pure lead though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) They shoot but you can't clear. Too tight in the chamber. Probably too long an OAL. Shorten them up a bit, and they'll probably "clear". Edited August 16, 2014 by Hi-Power Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grouptherapy Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 If you are talking about failure to feed I agree with Jack. Are you cking the head space with the gun disassembled and barrel in hand ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain037 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 No, I went through all that. Egw case guages are tight and so is my kkm chamber. I also load xtreems and don't have a problem. I loaded them plenty short. I will go back and make sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoBell Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I loaded 1000 of them in 9mm and didn't like them--I had to load them too short (at least by loading manual standards) to get them to chamber properly. They shot amazingly though, very accurate. I would be willing to give the new coated bullets another try, in either .40 or 9mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain037 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I checked to make sure and Ioaded to 1.110. Do you load them shorter Jack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost21 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) Not trying to flame ,but Missouri Bullet bullets are not pure lead ,They are an alloy! That being said I have shot their: 45 ACP 200gr SW 200gr RNFP 9mm 147 gr FP And have had nothing but good results with them, no leading what so ever! In either caliber I am not shooting any major PF with either one 9mm I'm shooting around 130PF . Yes ,they are a little smoky ,But as I shoot outdoors, Not a problem!
