sargenv Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Has anyone had any experience using BearCreek Moly Coated Bullets, and if so what has been your experience in using for IDPA/IPSC? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I use them currently for IPSC and have used them on and off for several years in several calibers. I currently have loads for them in 38/357, 40, 9mm, and used to load them in 45 when I had one. I am debating purchasing some for a 32 S&W long. They simply work. I notice less smoke than other lead uncoated bullets and they smoke a little more that jacketed and plated stuff, but overall they are a good bargain IMO. You can probably do a search of the forum and find many comments on them. Vince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves2Shoot Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Used them for years with no adverse side effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktyler Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 I have tried them and have friends that shoot them. We have all noticed the sizing and weight was not very consistant which lead to others going minor at matchs. This was a few years ago so they might have tightened up their quality control.

MoNsTeR Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Loaded some of the .45 200SWCs, worked very well for me. Little smoke and only the tiniest bit of leading. Now that Master Blaster seems to be going down the tubes I may switch to using their .40's as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenpo Joe Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 I use them in all of my handguns. I have never had a problem with them and they are accurate in my guns. Back on mute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singlestack Wonder Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 (edited) Bear Creek had a notice on their website for some time stating that they will not be shipping bullets for a short time. Now, their website doesn't come up (www.pathfindersports.com). Did they go out of business? Edited October 6, 2007 by Singlestack Wonder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel1212 Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 (edited) try www.bearcreeksupply.com They have raised their prices quite a bit. Their 40s have gone from 28 per 500 to 34. Even when I got the 5% discount MB had a better price if you bought their big case per thousand. I'm going to try a K of MB and see if they are the similar or not.

sarnburg Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 (edited) You have to call them direct to order. I placed and order online and after 2 weeks and no charge on my CC I gave them a call. I was told by person that answered phone that the web site was "down" and did not forward any orders to them. I placed order over phone and had the bullets in 3 days. I have shot several thousand of them and I find that I prefer the Precision Bullets over the Bear Creek. The price difference is less than .o1 cent per round between the two. http://www.precisionbullets.com/ Edited October 7, 2007 by sarnburg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclez Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 There good bullets. As someone else mentioned, there not quite as consistent in weight as some of the other manufacture's. For example; their 230gn bullet may vary anywhere from 228gn to 232gn. Not a biggie though if you load a little on the higher side of PF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
