Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro That could very well be true. At the time, I went with them as they were the only coated .358 bullet I could find in 180gr. Everyone else seemed to top out at 158gr. For the more available weights, I'm not an expert at all the options. Have enjoyed the MB so I can run a lower fps to be Major.

I wanted to pop in and say thanks for the good vibes being spread on this thread. We've been hammered with orders and are working 16-18 hours a day 7 days a week to get orders filled. At the moment, we are almost caught up. Most of our ~1-2 week old orders that haven't shipped will go out tomorrow. We have 2 more casting machines and another sizer that are about to be on-line so things should get a little easier and faster in the near future. I'm patient, I know the rush of orders for a new company can be overwhelming. Looking forward to trying them out. Bayou is local to me and I'm friends with the owner, but I like to support our sport and spread the wealth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least with the 45's shot from the hand, I've noticed it. More info to follow. Check my spreadsheet, it may save you some time with components.

robertson Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 The Brazos 124 is an excellent profile, looks a lot like the H&G #331. I got a bunch in over the weekend and the first 6 I ran over the chrono gave a 0 SD with Alliant Sport Pistol. I’ve never seen a 0 SD for 6 shots before and may never see another but it made me smile. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will look it over once my day job work is over. Thanks a bunch! FYI we started casting your 150 swc this morning and had to re-melt them. Moulds need a little more cleaning, so that is happening right after lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obsessiveshooter Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 I just placed an order for 4 bags of the 9mm from Brazos. I haven't heard of any real difference in accuracy between the coated bullet companies, it seems to be mainly about bullet profiles working with your gun. So, going with the least expensive hasn't hurt me yet. Brazos is the clear winner there, so I'll probably start using them for my limited .40 ammo too.

CHARLES D Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 I just ran 20 rounds of the Brazos 125 gr 9mms bullet thru my Shadow 2 this afternoon. Accuracy was outstanding. Just placed another order with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHARLES D Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I got the .356 diameter. My OAC is 1.131. Using 3.4 gr of titegroup. Shot another 100 rounds in a plate rack Tuesday. Going to shoot a USPSA match Sunday using them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsessiveshooter Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 What is the turnaround you all have been experiencing with Brazos, from order placement to them actually shipping? I can wait for a good deal, I just want to know what to expect. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimator Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Both of my orders took less than a week. But I think I was very early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can wait for a good deal, I just want to know what to expect. Brazos sent my order for 125s in less than a week. But, SnS, and ACME both got my orders of 125s and 124s (ACME) RN also in about a week. I tried all three brands and in order of preference in my Stock 2 (accuracy, ease of loading, OAL, etc.) SnS, Brazos, ACME. The accuracy of the ACME 124s was slightly less than the other two at 25 yards no matter what velocity I shot them at. SnS and Brazos grouped similar. I’ll add these figures to help you decide: SnS 125 averaged 126 grains on my scale, Brazos 125 were 125 and ACME 123.6. The bearing surface of the ACME bullets was smaller than the former two, which probably contributed to the difference in accuracy. I had to adjust my MBF a bit more for the SnS to feed properly (not upside down). Since I ran them first the other two fed perfectly through the feeder. Hope all this helps.

Shmella Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Brazos being the cheapest by a fair margin is IMO worth mentioning again. I am a big fan of acme. But will order again with Brazos because of the price point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmtyndall Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Does Brazos have sample packs? Been digging around the website and dont see any there. Been shooting ACME but seeing some reports of better accuracy with the Brazos so I'd be interested in trying them out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightfoot Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 As to lead times for our (Brazos Bullets) shipping, it depends on whether or not we have it on the shelf. If we have it, it’ll go out the next day. If we have to cast it, we should be able to get it out in a week. I’ll admit that a few people had to wait longer than that and we are trying to fix that. Special sizes and less popular profiles are the ones that get delayed. We have 2 casting machines and 1 sizing machine that are being re-built, and once those are running, we should be much better off. If you have a time sensitive order, send us an email or note with the order. We can at least give you an estimate on the shipping time. Now USPS, that’s another topic. We’ve had boxes get delayed by a week with no tracking upsates. Then they just show up often with, “surface transportation only” stickers on them. Its great to hear that so many of you are having good results with our bullets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
