bigtex84 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I was looking for a decent deal on some lead practice loads for my 9mm. I saw matercast's website and they were the cheapest I had seen anywhere, $43 per 1000. I told him I wanted 9000 but didnt know if they were going to be reliable in me firearms. So he offered to sent me a sample pack of 50 to try out. He also comped the shipping charge on my order. Just thought I would share this because of the great customer service.

Seth Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I assume that this is Mastercast.net out of PA? I've bought about 6000 200gr LSWCs from him and am extremely pleased with their performance, consistency and price. I haven't loaded one yet that had lost the lube ring. They're a great company.

Canuck-IL Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 There are two with the same name...both seem to ship promptly and offer reasonable prices (given today's market conditions)...quality is about the same as Kead's but availability is a little better. Neither are quite as nice as Penn Match grade. In Illinois - http://www.mastercastbullets.com/ In PA - http://www.mastercast.net/ /Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rik Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 (edited) If it's the one in Il. he gave me a nice discount on 25,000 bullets. This was on top of what I thought was a very good price to start with. Rik To add to the confusion, I think both guys are named Mike.

Hekler40 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I have bought from the one in PA. It is ran by Mike and Kate. They will give a 10% discount on 10,000. They are good bullets and nice people to do business with. anton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtex84 Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 The one I was refering to the one in Il he is a little cheaper, and the bullets are much harder since I purchased the cast lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobobooie Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 +1 on MasterCast. Mike in Illinois is a great guy and the quality of the product is very good. The last order I placed was lost in shipment and Mike had another order to me in 2 days. Great customer service for sure. His 180gr .40 bullets are pretty darn good, as is the 200 gr SWC for my .45.

big_kahuna Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Another +1 on Mike at Mastercast in Illinois. Great bullets and customer service is outstanding. My last order was received 9 days after I placed the order. The bullets were beautifully cast, uniform and consistent. High quality and value, and his prices are excellent. Highly recommended.

el pres Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I have never loaded lead bullets but due to current prices I am thinking about it. What are some of the things I need to know, have loaded thousands of jacketed bullets. I use tightgroup, would I need to change that (smokes more). Do they function the same in Limited guns, production guns, etc... Are power factors higher or lower with the same charge. Do they come apart at high velocities ???????

Do they come apart at high velocities ??????? I dont know about TG I use AA#7 for most of my loads, but im sure someone can tell you. As for function they funciton just as well as jacketed bullets unless they are cast of softer metal. This isnt a problem with mastercast but he is the only one I have used. I cant imagine PF would change if you were using a bullet of the same weight. Most cast bullets however need to be shot at lower velocities due to leading in the barrel at high velocities. I use these for practice because they are econmical. hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
