Isn't that awfully expensive for plain lead bullets? $200 per thousand!

If they don't lead the barrel and shoot accurately looks like a heck of a deal to me.

They look a little rough to me - like they're pre-shot.

Might just be lube smeared around on them or some slag in the melt.
Either way if they don't shoot worth a poop a fella can always melt em down and pour in a different shape. :mrgreen:

For comparison, Missouri bullets are $45.00/500 (250gr) which is $4.50/50 plus shipping and Laser-Cast (250gr) are $70.25/500 shipped which is $7.03/50, and they're both prettier. :D

Perry,

Those are very similar to the Ideal/Lyman 454190 though not identical.
The packaging and lube remind me of some really ancient cast bullets I bought off eBay some years back. Black lube, bullets oxidizing, looked ancient. Probably were.

Over about 8.0 to 8.5grs of Unique they'll make a really great factory duplication load.

Like Steve I think they are priced a bit (twice really) high, but I've paid way too much for bullets just to try them. If they worked I got my own mold next time.

Let us know how they work.
