I'm sure a lot of you do!
I sure could use some of those 147gr, 9mm Zombie bullets. Got some plated instead.

And sold his casting machinesHe shut down all casting, didn’t he?
I mean, like shuttered it all?
I did my part to keep his doors open. I'll be shooting green 9mm for a few more years yet.
When it’s all said and done, he took a hobby that he enjoyed and tried to make a business out of it. Business is always tough, and I think it just wore on him. He would occasionally vent here, especially when folks would post links and info about sales of reloading supplies from companies that didn’t support the forum. I think his decision to exit the business was very well considered.
I'm with you. I was the reason he had .41 coated bullets and ended up buying him out when he shut down. The sad part is I can no longer feed my 41 magnums as cheap as I have been.
Yep, I miss his business as well. He always gladly answered the few questions I had and the shipments always arrived quicker than advertised. I still have about 2,000 each of .45 and 9mm lead so it won't be long before I have to shop for a new supplier. Any recommendation's? 9mm lead 127 gr and .45 200 gr lswc.

Price dif between coated and lubed is pretty insignificant. Many are adverse to the smoke and handling lead.Seems coated is the way to go for competition, but whats everyone like for practice or plinking? If anyone wants cast Ive been pondering stocking 180gr .40 and 147gr 9mm.
Very good point. That's the biggest reason why I haven't picked anything up. My cost compared to blues is a no brainer for the blues. Now 223 is a different story, there's a huge savings depending on how you shoot and what accuracy you're looking forPrice dif between coated and lubed is pretty insignificant. Many are adverse to the smoke and handling lead.

Maybe the universe is telling you to sell your 41magnums.
I’m here to help if you need it!
Try Acme bullets out of Wisconsin (http://acmebullet.com/). They sell coated or straight lead, have decent prices, and ship your bullets in a unique old style looking wooden box, usually with a little candy inside. I believe I can scare up a 10% off discount code for you if you are interested. They are as good as any coated lead bullet I have used.
That being said Ive had good luck with bayou bullets, black bullets, H&S bullets, Eggleston munitions, SNS bullets, Missouri bullet co., Ibejiheads bullets, Precision bullets, leatherheads, and I'm sure I'm leaving out some. Yea, I like to tinker and experiment...
I ordered some of them Saturday to give them a try. I really like the design too! Hope they work well.

I really like the Blue Bullets 147 grain (actually about 150) the best. I just think the coating quality is better than the others I have tried. It also has a forgiving profile for shorter chambers. I didn't care for the zombies.
I just learned how to cast my own, and powder coat them. More choice of projectiles, I can size to my gun, etc.
That's what I was about to post. I have all kinds of colors of coated bullets...and while the Blue Bullets may be the nicest looking, they're the only ones that turn my fingers colors.I like everything about the blue bullets except for the smurf fingers after handling them. They are good bullets but no other brand of coated lead bullet I have ever used leaves residue like theirs does. Just don't like them enough to put up with it.
Blues are a great bullet and with the several discount programs they offer, their price makes blue fingers a non issue for me.I like everything about the blue bullets except for the smurf fingers after handling them.

I do not think so.Is Don, still on here?
