njl Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Looks interesting, but pricey, not many weights offered, and only 9mm and .40? Where's the .45? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3djedi Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 Dave33, did you get your bullet dude bullets? Loaded any? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Dave33, did you get your bullet dude bullets? Loaded any? Yes. I started a separate thread in this forum about that instead of clogging this one up. Loaded some last night, plan to shoot them tomorrow if nothing comes up.

3djedi Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 Yeah I only shoot 40 right now so I didn't check 9mm pricing. Sent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we were to look at ordering in a bit more of a bulk order (minus the discount for USPSA shooter, because I'm not one)... 5k 124gr from BD, $425.61 shipped. 5k 124gr fmj from PD, $440 shipped. At such an insignificant difference in price, I'd rather have a less smokey bullet that I know is tried and true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3djedi Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 Oh yeah. I would definitely choose FMJ's Sent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you have forgotten the 10% discount you can get by using the coupon code comp10 they mention on their website. That makes 5k of the 124gr $425.61-42.56= $383.05 per 5k, or 7.6 cents per. Precision delta is 8.9 cents per thousand as long as you order at least 2000. Precision delta and HAP's are currently the most accurate bullet I load, I will find out tomorrow what the bullet dude bullets will do. If they are at least close to as accurate they may make a good alternative as lead makes the same power factor with less powder so recoil should be a bit less.

biglou13 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Thanks for the price break down Blue bullets 125 gr round come out to .0675 Some should keep a running table of bullet costs and sticky it. Slight difference... It's what I ran tests on. And found supper accurate load Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3djedi Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 I tried blue bullets. Ordered a sample pack on thursday and they were delivered Saturday. Tested them out on Sunday and found they were very accurate. They turn your fingers blue but that's a small price to pay. I definitely will be trying some more!

dave33 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I exchanged a couple emails with one of the bullet dudes a couple weeks ago. They were going to reship my original order as they have changed their alloy and expect much improved results over what I experienced with them. I was told about the replacement order probably three weeks before that. Apparently they are moving to a larger location that is going to increase their capacity significantly over what it is now. Also, the oven they use to bake the coating onto the bullets crapped out and they are replacing that as well. I was also told they have replaced their molds with new groove-less ones. If I had to guess, they had much more success sooner than they thought they would and quickly outgrew the original setup, decided to move to a new location, are replacing/upgrading some equipment, and the whole thing is taking much longer than they thought it would. Again, this is a total guess. They could of taken drunk for all I know. What I do know is between the emails and phone calls I have had with them they seem like good guys that really want to sell a good product, and they are very active in the shooting sports. I have plenty of other bullets to shoot while I wait on them, and when they finally ship my replacement order Im going to load them, shoot them, and review them here in my other thread. Hopefully sooner than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully sooner than later. "Good news and bad news. I'll start with the good. All of our equipment and moulds are here, and we have a ton of lead staring at me dying to be turned into gorgeous boolits. But, we've hit a permit issue with the county that we're trying to get resolved, and it unfortunately involves electricity. It's kind of hard to make boolits without electricity. Never fear! I'll start posting daily updates from here on in to keep everyone in the loop. Once the county gives us the green light, we'll open the flood gates." I know and shoot with one of the owners and can say they are good DUDES (pun intended). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdwardBlake Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Glad things are moving forward. I cancelled an order last month after speaking to one of the owners. I just needed the cash to order from someone else. I will say the communication was excellent and easy as can be. I wish them luck and will try some of them when they get back up and running.
