Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 A great title for this post would be "Coated Bullet Vendors?" The better the title, the better the advice you can gather and the less time it takes us all to parse it out. The short to-the-point question was great. It's a hard time to be laying in loading supplies, however. Be ready to make several inquiries and searches. And remember that with bullets, buying from a close vendor or at a bigger match you plan to attend can save you the high shipping costs that are only getting higher. Often times, asking your pards at a local match gets you a vendor name or two you may not have realized is in your backyard. Thanks for thinking of using our smaller suppliers!

The Rainmaker, SASS #11631 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Best advice I can give you is get the Heck outta Chi! Grew up in west burbs and got out in '88... won't go back but to visit. The only bullets yer gonna find around there will be whizzin' past yer head. Too much oppression up there anyway. And Scarlett really is TOPS! There are others but she has always taken care of us.

John Kloehr Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Scarlett delivered to me as promised. I'm not reloading yet, but started laying in supplies for it when things got nuts. There are a number of good suppliers out there, but you certainly did not make a bad choice IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgavin Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 OP, Pay attention to the pressures you intend to load. Different vendors product bullets of varying hardness (BHN). • BHN= 5 Stick-on wheel weights • BHN= 8 Clip-on wheel weights • BHN= 9 Desperado Bullets (uncoated) • BHN= 9 Ringer Bullets (Hi-Tek) by Special Order • BHN=10 Big Lube Bullets, Outlaw Bullets, Stateline Bullets • BHN=12 Missouri Bullets • BHN=13 Bear Creek Supply • BHN=14 Gallant Bullets • BHN=16 Acme, Badman, Bayou, Chey-Cast, Scarlett, SNS, Stateline • BHN=18 Falcon Bullets, Missouri Bullets • BHN=19 Cast Performance • BHN=24 Oregon Trail laser cast • BHN= 5 is 6,399 psi • BHN= 9 is 11,518 psi • BHN=10 is 12,798 psi • BHN=12 is 15,358 psi • BHN=13 is 16,637 psi • BHN=14 is 17,917 psi • BHN=16 is 20,477 psi • BHN=18 is 23,036 psi • BHN=19 is 24,316 psi • BHN=24 is 30,715 psi The Brinell Hardness Number has a direct correlation between the softness of a lead bullet vs the required cartridge pressure in PSI. When the BHN is a match for the PSI, the lead bullet will obturate (seal) effectively in the barrel. This is the ideal condition for minimal barrel leading and blow-by.

Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Quote • BHN= 5 Cast from wheel weights • BHN= 7 Stick-on wheel weights Reverse those two. Stick-on wheel weights, like used on aluminum and mag wheels, are very soft - essentially pure lead. Right off the wheels, they look like shiny gray Chicklets (but larger). 5 Brinell Hardness Clip on wheel weights vary a lot, but today are between 8 and 11 Brinell hardness, normally. As will radioactive isotope storage containers from hospitals. 9 Brinell is hard enough for almost any cowboy bullet. Even 1911 semi-autos. good luck, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgavin Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Done. Thanks for the tip. I don't have a Brinell tester, so have to depend on what I can dig out. I had Ringer custom cast my .358 and .430 specifically as BHN=9 for low pressure use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
