Ive always had good luck with their bullets. Loading lead from them allows me to shoot a lot. Always had good luck with them. Their 45 softballs are pretty much the only 45 bullet I load anymore. It just doesnt make sense to pay the money for jacketed or plated bullets anymore for me. I never get leading. I worked the load up and it does fine. I do use MG or PD in my 9mm loads. MBC for 38/357 and 44 mag for my plinking ammo. Works great.
Nothing like an experts opinion from a guy who is surprised to figure out his bullets are pre lubed. LMAO This is the typical mentality of the Missouri Bullet supporters. I wonder why he made such a big issue about leading? I'll have to post a review on my Mysery Bullets that leaded my barrel to the point of losing sight of the rifling in under 100 rounds. You'll find leading complaints in many gun forums; this is damage control.
@SmokinBillBBQ First of all, I highly suggest you reread the opening card of the video. Second, it was my first time purchasing lead bullets instead of fmj so I was unfamiliar with them. I made a big issue about there being NO leading because that's an important factor to me as a customer. I have no idea what bullets you used, what powder/amount of powder, and what gun you used it in. My experience has been 100% positive with my setup, I cannot speak for yours.
@savage1r Good for you but that's not everybody's experience; as I said there are many threads with serious leading problems so just keep an eye open with future orders as they change. Also for as much as MB touts to be the alloy guru, I've experienced 2 different bullets from them and neither represents the Brinell marked on the box. He claims to be the "custom alloy guy" but I have 12 Brinell bullets that are actually 24 and 18 that vary between 12 and 14; some guru.
You apparently had a different experience than I did with their bullets. I had the exact same kind: 9mm 147grain FP. They were all a little too large, and ranged from .357-.358 inches in diameter. The ones that were .358 were obvious if I missed one, because they wouldn't load all the way into the barrel. Unlike when I was loading with Berry's plated ammo, I have to chamber check every single bullet to avoid locking up the gun...again.
@vtmegrad98 I initially had an issue fitting the loaded ammo in my PF-9 till I realized that I had seated the bullets too deeply with an OAL of about 1.140", when I backed them out to 1.160" they fed perfectly and haven't had any issues since.
@technopoptart Few things I don't have that I need: bullet puller, case trimmer for 7.62x39, and as always, more bullets. My problem was i was seating the bullets too deep. Fixed that and everything cycles fine now.
@savage1r You'll need a good bullet puller on hand loading Missouri Bullets. I found myself having to pull over 1,000 of them when they leaded my barrel to the point of losing sight of the rifling. Then they were so soft the collet crushed the bullet and I couldn't pull some without vice grips. Believe me the Brinell marked on the box is for nothing but show; not even close.
@SmokinBillBBQ You know, every single collet bullet puller I've seen specifically states that it's for jacketed bullets only. They all say that they'll deform lead bullets.
@vtmegrad98 Maybe I should also say it didn't mar the bullets, it crushed them like they were soft putty and they were so inconstant in their hardness that a few were OK while others crushed so easily that the lead conformed to the slightest cracks of the puller and never allowed for any upward force to be applied. Their hardness is a crap shoot, they mix scrap in the melting pots while casting so you're at the mercy of chance as to what's above the spout when a cavity is filled.
@scoob956 Like I said in the video, my only problem was seating the bullet too deep, once I came back out to 1.160, everything cycled smooth like butter.
I like that familiar click of the PF-9 when you're hand-cycling it. It's a cute little click sound for a cute little gun. My PF9 is getting sent in for adjustments though. Shoots too far to the left, even after adjusting the sights.

@savage1r Looks like you're dead on. I backed out my seating die and haven't had a problem since.

You may want to look into some instruction for reloading, you probably don't have all the right equipment.

@SmokinBillBBQ Again, I can't speak to your experience with them, I can only relate mine, which has been positive.

@savage1r you're fortunate though I'd bet a thousand bucks the Brinell of the bullets you loaded aren't the Brinell printed on the box.

@vtmegrad98 Doesn't deform bullets from Penn Bullets.

It looks like on the cartridge that does not fit, it looks as if you didn't crimp/post size as if the mouth is still expanded.

The lead 180 gn SWC I use in my 1911 comes lubed, too. I think it's pretty standard, mine were made and sold locally.

@davemcclave One was the mount I showed you, the other was a mount I made for my ipod touch set up on the opposite side, the "hero cam".
