Falcon Cast Bullets

[jkf74]

I was at a gun show in Shelbyville today and a company called Falcon Bullets were selling cast bullets. I plan on loading 9mm soon and am wondering if anyone knows anything about this company? Anyone have any experience with cast lead in a CZ 75B and Smith 5906?

Take a micrometer with you and measure anything you want to buy.

THe incompetence in the commercial cast bullet world is staggering. Manufacturers produce a .355 cast lead bullet and then people wonder why they suck. That's because a 9mm doesn't use a .355 cast bullet normally. It takes at least .356 up to .357 to seal the bore, maintain pressure and prevent gas cutting. Edited December 9, 2012 by Caster

Thanks for the reply. I have a micrometer and will do just that. I have no experience with cast lead bullets but want to try them. But I dont want to end up with bad performing rounds either.

Pretty sure that Falcon Bullets are producing bullets to the diameter declared on their box and website - www.falconbullets.com

jkf74....  I just recently purchased bullets from Falcon Bullets.  I like to try and support businesses close to me and they had good prices.  I found them easy to deal with and they are offering free shipping right now if you order two or more boxes of bullets. The bullets were excellent quality and reloaded a few.  I took about 200 rounds of .45 RN 230 gr and the same number of .40 TCFP 180 gr to the range and was pleased with them.  I will order from them again.
