Summers, Missouri, DG

EDIT: Looks like I haven't purchased bullets in a while. Summers is now Bishop.

 

RimRock makes excellent bullets but they are not a “budget” supplier if you are price shopping.

I recently bought from these guys:

T&B Bullets

High quality hard cast bullets for reloading

tbbullets.com

Pretty wide selection and prices are competitive. The site and order worked flawlessly for me and the shipping was FAST. I would love to report on the bullets but alas, I have not loaded them yet. But this is a good reminder to get on that, so I will!

 

I feel like no company is a budget supplier anymore. Rimrock was very good. I’ve looked at TB but haven’t pulled the trigger.

 

I prefer to cast and coat my own, but a friend recently gave me 500 of these and I am happy with the consistency, finish, etc. Acme

45 ACP 200 Grain SWC-NLG COATED - ACME Bullet Company

No Lube Groove (NLG) - Semi Wad Cutter (SWC) Profile. 200 Grain Sized to .452 OAL .647 +/- These bullets are cast from 92-6-2 alloy (BHN 16) and are then coated in Hi-Tek coating.

I usually cast my own, but find I don’t have a lot of free time lately!

 

Missouri Bullet co.

 

Have bought several times from Missouri Bullet Company - always service & quality.

 

Bayou Bullets

 

Bought from them as well in the past. Was pleased with their quality & service. I heard a rumor that ownership has changed. No recent experience.

 

Depending upon what you are doing, I have gone to 20:1 bullets for a lot of my shooting and I like Desperado and Matt's for that but they aren't cheap. I have had a lot of success with Rim Rock. For harder bullets, they are great and I've loaded a lot of their 200gr. .45's and 158gr. .38's.

In general, I have had the same success with bullets from Summers Enterprises, LLC and the price was tough to beat. Rim Rock has their line of wadcutters in virtually every caliber and those are great as are their line of Keith SWC's and others. For the .38 and .45 bullets the OP is asking about I would look at Summers.

As long as you don't mind waiting...
I'm 60 days in on my first order and more than likely last order with them. 60 days plus and no shipping notice, no bullets.
I hope I receive them before 90 days have passed.

 

That wasn't my experience, but mine was a few years ago. Best of luck with your order. Maybe they did change ownership.

 

Montana Bullet Works has some different bullet options and some gas check options too. They aren't a budget company but do make a nice bullet.

Matt's Bullets makes some nice bullets too and has some hollow point options.

GT Bullets also has lots of hollow point options.

For "blasting" I've had good results with Bayou, Acme, SNS, Missouri and Chey Cast. Blue Bullets should also get a mention.

 

Bought from Montana Bullet Works, nice folks, good quality and service, but they apparently are no more.

 

I’ve used acme and bayou. Both were phenomenal.

 

I’ve tried to check out Summers Enterprises, but their server is down. Several shout outs for Bayou, may have to give them a try.

 

Missouri Bullets

 

Lot of good choices but I cast my own.

 

vote for Xtreme - (they used to be called Western NV West Coast Bullet)

Another is Zeigler

 

An update regarding my order still pending from Bayou Bullets; 90 days have passed since I paid for the bullets. I have not received any bullets. I have sent several emails and there's been no response, none. I filed a dispute with my CC company this morning.
