Haven't tried them yet but I plan on ordering some samples. They seem like nice people and answer emails promptly.

Have not tried them yet. Been using bullets from 2nd Chance bullet Co. Lasercast is too expensive for Cowboy action. I could actually shoot Ranier LeadSafe for the same price as LaserCast. 2nd Chance is half the cost.

I just bought a bunch of sample packs for the calibers I load. Can't wait to give them a "shot". lol!

Are those bullets plated? why are they gold colored?

 

[Dizle]

gold? no they are hard cast lead bullets with red lube

Anybody have experience with their hard cast lead bullets for .45 in an autoloader .45 ACP (like a 1911, XD/XDm, Glock)? I'm curious about using their 200 gr FN for my XDm practice load...

I've shot hundreds of Oregon Trail Laser Cast 230 gr RN through both my Ruger SR 1911 and my Sig 1911 with no issues whatsoever.

 

[Throckmorton]

what I hear is DO NOT shoot lead thru a glock barrel,or any polygonal rifled barrel.
in my 1911 it's all I shoot,and zero problems doing it. mine are of a 'medium cast' as to hardness,but they shoot fine.sometimes too hard a bullet will not engage the rifleing,some trial and error testing will show you what your gun likes.

Boy talk about bringing back an old thread...

The XD is pretty picky when it comes to cast bullets, if you do go this way, I highly recommend sticking with a standard RN configuration bullet. I usually shoot 200gr RN-SWC (magma mold) through my 1911 and it eats them up just like it would Keith nose, or hardball, but my buddy who shoots an XD has fits with it. So he has to buy his own ammo

As far as polygonal rifling... the problem with poly rifling and lead is there is a strong tendency for the bullets to strip at higher velocities, it should not be an issue if you are leaving your velocities at the bottom of the range, but when you start to push velocity, you will start stripping, and leading your barrel excessively, this can lead to higher pressures, more leading and more pressure.

Thanks for the info, AMP. I know the XD has an issue with feeding LSWC, but I've also read that Springfield made "improvements" with the XDm so that it would better feed LSWC (modifications with the feed ramp and throat). I was hoping to run across someone that has tried these in an XDm and haven't had issues. They (Badman) do sell "sample packs", do suppose I could load up some dummy rounds and see what they'd do.

I contacted badman bullets and they have some inventory! Incase your having trouble finding projectiles. Check them out

 

[xlsbob]

I've been shooting Badman bullets in .44 .45 colt and .357 for the last couple years. Never had a problem and always good quality. Seem like really good people to deal with too.

 

[fxdc]

fyi..... Use plated bullets in ur glocks and ur GTG!

 

[MarkAd]

badman bullet are great for cowboy action. The 357 will not handle magnum loads.
They are good shooting bullets woring well in 38spl for lever guns and revolvers.

 

[Dizle]

I have aftermarket barrels in my blocks and shoot/load their bullets in my glocks
