I do at the range. Recently stocked up on more because they get more and more difficult to find.

Does the HI-TEK coating some manufacturers put on them worth it? And if not, how bad is it to scrub the lead residue out of the barrel if you have fouling?

If it's not expensive, I occasionally get it, although I don't have issues with fouling. For instance I like the FalCoat bullets @ Falcon Bullet Company. Decent people, they and Missouri Bullet always are good to deal with.

I mentioned I never have issues with lead fouling, but also, I run a patch through my barrels prior to range shooting with just a dab of TWB-25 grease on it. Not much, just enough to leave a very light film.

Actually, I like all of mil-comm's products and have been using them for quite some time I use Break-free CLP for very few things these days.

Thanks I bookmarked that site.

I just bought some bullets from Bayou Bullets, but they're so back ordered they haven't mailed mine out yet.

Maybe check out Falcon Bullet or Missouri if Bayou is still backordered? They might can get you what you need until Bayou has cast more bullets.

I love Eezox spray lube and in the squirt can. Nice smell too. Not offensive to the nose.

If you want to get into casting its great, and 45 is a perfect cartridge for it. Leading is not bad once you get the alloy, and sizing right. You also can powder coat your bullets, it works just as well as the newer coatings applied by companys. Even if you dont cast your own just buy coated lead bullets, there much cheaper than jacketed bullets.

Falcon has done me well and Missouri Bullet.

I used to buy Zero bullets from Roze Distribution, but they are generally swamped and usually only have jacketed ammo, not just bullets/boolits.

I used to as well, but there name got out there to much. Which means they hardly ever have what i needed. Plus when i moved i had to get rid of my reloading equipment. Not enough room, went from a 25000 square foot house on 21 acres with my own range out to 500 yards, to a 700 square foot apartment.

You should check out rocky mountain reloading, they sell bullets that have been pulled or newly manufactured bullets from companies like hornady, sierra, and speer. You can get bullets like federal fusion, gold dots, and lots of other premium bullets for a good price.

Always in the market for Gold Dots, XTP, and would like to get a hold of some Magtech 165 grain solid copper hollow point bullets to tinker with using some Vhitavouri N350 powder I stocked up on.
Guy had a sack of them at a gun show but didn't want to sell his last bag. No idea where he got them, I've never run across Magtech components before.

They generally come from companies like RMR. There will be a problem with a lot of ammunition, and they pull the ammo apart, then sell as components. Shooters pro shop is another company that sells reloading components for a good price, but they only sell nosler products. Its a good way to get nosler 64gr bonded performance bullets. They're just like trophy bonded bear claws. They have a soft point with a solid copper shank. If you need a 224 caliber bullet you cant get better than bonded performance or tbbc (trophy bonded bear claw).
