Bart Slade Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Howdy Y'all; Just found out that Mark Whyte (Whyte Leather Works) is getting out of the Big Lube Bullet business, he's planning to wrap it up by December. So - anybody got a decent source for Big Lube Bullets? Preferably pre-lubed with BP lube the way Mark does. Granted molding them myself is an option - but I'd rather support a pard (am not really interested in casting bullets). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantankerous Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I just checked his web site... no bullets to be found currenly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 That is disappointing but it's a lot of work. Don't know if he's just stopping the bullet production and slowing down a bit or retiring all together. Either way, thank you Mr. Whyte for making the bullets available for many years. Could be an opportunity for the right person to start offering these bullets! I used to cast my own big lubes but have bought them in later years.

Snakebite Dust SASS 75484 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Cheycast makes a bullet much like his. I have been using Missouri Bullets with BP lube and have had very good success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I emailed him about it, and he told me that he's currently taking limited orders from his regular customers but plans to totally shut down in December.

Goody, SASS #26190 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I would think he might be selling the business to another? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Sell the business! You guys must think I have some mini factory set up here, but I don't. It has been just me and my hand casting moulds and my Magma lead pot, which I am going to need to keep my family in bullets. Might sell a couple of the spare Star sizers, but that would be it. Been a difficult year for me, what with getting Covid in August, then re-injured my SI joint last month(old motorcycle injury). I really gotta stop crawling under my autos to work on them! That is what my 19 year old son is for. And last week I managed to pop out a rib in front, but my Chiro is taking care of that. So I am still taking orders until probably the end of November or so, but they aren't going to go out fast. I pulled the Big Lube page on my website but I hope to continue with the leather side of the business, so my e-mail address is still posted if you have questions about ordering.

Will Kane Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Thanks for making some great Big Lube bullet, Slim. Just the other day I was thinking I need to order some more .457 balls and some more 135 grain and 180 grain 38-40 bullets from you. Prayers up for a full recovery from all your physical challenges, continued success in your leather business and many more fun years in the game with your family.
