Bear Creek Bullets

[Kevin Kline]

Thanks Joe!

Update on the leading issue. BC is replacing all 6,000 bullets N/C. They have been really pleasant folks to work with.

[Joe D]

I tested some of the new bullets today. They were sized .357". No leading at all.

Joe,

have you tried the new BC bullets with titegroup already? just wondering how its working im going to be using the same load...thanks

[Joe D]

Sorry it took so long to answer. Titegroup works ok with Bearcreek. It does smoke a little. Nothing like regular lead bullets. You would probably not notice it in a match.

Cool im going to be trying out 3.0 gr of TG and bear creek 147gr flats on a g34

i had the same leading trouble with them in my glock.

i shot a bunch with silhouette and n330 without leading.

TG, WST, power pistol all leadeded the barrel terribly.

I've been trying for the past week to place an order with these folks. I left a message last friday (16 May) and they never called, I just tried to call twice and the phone just rings, no machine this time?

Has anyone talked to or ordered anything from these folks lately?

[21 shooter]

I called them last week and a couple of days later sent in my order. Their prices have increased, but are in line with everyone else's.

I use a lot of the 158gr LRN from Bear Creek. I started out using Unique and it was OK, up to 4.5grs but at 4.7, it leaded the bore BAD. I switched to 3.6grs of Bullseye and there's practicaly zero smoke, no leading and it's as accurate as anything I've shot. PF = 128 out of my 4" 686.

I took delivery from my local dealer of 6K bullets. He said the order was like 6 weeks late.

They are still in business but it sounds like they are playing catch-up.

[shooterbenedetto]

has anyone used this in their Tangfolio open gun 38 super?

[inkedshooter]

I load the 158gn using 3.4gn Bullseye making a 126pf for my revolver loads using Bear Creek. Just loaded up their 125gn with 3.4-3.5gn Bullseye for .38 and will load same powder charge and bullet for 9mm. I was told that the 9mm bullets are loose in Glock barrels and either the 158gn or 125gn sized for .38 work best for Glock barrels.

After cleaning residue out of the comp.......I can't recommend any type of Moly or coated bullet in an open gun, and when I bought masterblasters that was what I was told as well....FWIW.....
