Falcon Bullet Company
Has anyone had any experience with Falcon Bullet Co.'s 158 gr.
.38 special SWC lead bullets? I like the idea of a beveled base
and a grove to crimp the brass to. Their price of $38.00 for
500 bullets seems reasonable to me.

No experience with Falcon bullets. The price seems to be reasonable these days. I do not like bevel base bullets. I think the are more prone to leading problems. I personally am done with them for my loading. Flat base or nothing.

I really like falcon bullets. the last I heard they weren't taking any new orders. I would order from them today if I could. I didn't see any leading problem, not to say it doesn't happen.

From Falcon bullet company's website:

After long consideration it is with complete emotional drain that Falcon Bullet Company will be closing.
Thank you to all of our friends and customers we met along this journey.
God Bless!

I bought 500 from them about a year ago. Good clean casting, plenty of lube, crimp groove. (AFAIK, any bullets intended for 38 spl will have a crimp groove.) I didn't notice any beveled base on them.
Hate to see the company go. Good product, good prices, nice people.

Google Badman Bullets located in Oregon. They make a great product with very fast & free shipping on 1000 bullet orders. They also include a coupon on your invoice for a small discount on your next order!

Falcon closed
After reading this thread and not having previously heard of Falcon Bullets, I went to their website. According to the message, the business is closing.
