Which Lead Bullet to Buy
I need to purchased some .45 200gr LSWC for IDPA shooting w/a 1911. Where I use to buy is no longer available. Been looking @ Oregon trail, Meister Bullets and Missouri Bullet Co. I noticed that MBC is about 1/2 the price of the other two. Any thoughts or suggestions?

i was using the 200 LSWC bullets over Unique.

I have purchased umpteen thousands of 158gr .38 and 230gr .45 from Missouri Bullet. They have super fast shipping, and my non-scientific, very random testing has shown the weights very consistent.
I would highly recommend them.
Cheers!

Yeah, OC are way over priced & too hard for many applications IMO. MB makes a good product, so does Two Alpha.

I've also had good experience with Missouri. Velocity Bullets ( http://velocitybullets.com/) also does a great job and their bullets so far have been a little more "finished" than the Missouri bullets and just about identical prices.

Cannot do better than Missouri Bullet Co. I have bought/loaded/shot thousands of them, and they are excellent. Great people to do business with, quality product, very fast shipping. Just wish all companies were as good as MBC.

I have loaded about 2K of the MBC's, great product and even better customer service.
THR discount code??

I've only shot a couple hundred MBC lead bullets in .38 special out of my 642. They did pretty darn well. I ended up having to place my order over the phone due to some computer problems on my end, but they were nice folks to deal with. I plan on buying a lot from them in the future.

Thanks for all the replies. Looked like MBC won hands down. And as for the part about their fast shipping--hell, I ordered from them Monday afternoon, and they arrived today! (WED)

Great guy to deal with. Bullets exit the barrel and impact paper for cheaper.

Yuth put out good stuff. I may have to try those 124 RN's out again in 9mm for my Spartan.
