Montana Bullet Works for sale
I just got an email from the former operator of Montana Bullet Works:
"Dear customer,
Because of some recent, troublesome physical disabilities, I am no longer able to operate Montana Bullet Works. However, it is for sale, at a very attractive price.
The price includes over 400,000 bullets already cast and waiting to be sized and lubed. Also included is all of the necessary equipment, materials and customer contacted needed to re-open MBW. Once relocated, it truly is a turn-key operation.
I have a large and loyal customer base, including you, who appreciate the quality and variety that MBW offers. They would respond very favorably to a re-opening of the business.
If you are interested in purchasing MBW and/or need additional information, please contact Mr. Platt through his email, [email protected]. Please feel free to forward this email as well to anyone you feel would be interested.
Thank you all for your years of loyalty,
Dave

I myself am too old and not much of a businessman, but I sure hope someone is interested in this.
Montana had a great selection of different bullets.

Good news:
Montana Bullet Works is back and seemingly better than ever.
Home page - Montana Bullet Works - Custom Ladle Cast Bullets
Looks like they have all the LBT designs and many others at prices lower than Cast Perf. or Beartooth.
Going to have to try them out.. maybe with the unusual 220 OWC-PB 44.
Could be good in the 44 special as a SD or souped up a little as a rural carry load.

Consider adding Montana Gold Bullet Welcome I used them regularly (along with Precision Delta, which you have already included) when I was shooting a LOT of rounds in IDPA and USPSA matches.
Their jacketed bullets got to be quite reasonable when you bought a case lot (which is whatever quantity would fit into a Priority Mail Flat Rate box at just below the 70# limit.)
(Sorry about the goofy link here. I've edited a dozen times, but no matter what address I copy from the web site and paste here I can't get it to SAY Montana Gold AND go to the site.)

I just updated the list. As you can see, the last 5 years have been hard on the small businessman. I found four times as many out-of-business manufacturers as I did new manufacturers.
My apologies for letting this go for a bit...life got in the way.
As always if you see corrections or additions, post here and I will update.

Thanks for the original and updated version. Just a suggestion, how about just delete the "dead" ones?, They are gone, it would clean up the list, be easier to reference. But heck so many do not even know of the "notable threads"
I plan on doing that...just giving folks a chance to let me know if a company is still in business, but changed domains (and I couldn't find them).
I think your resource here is terrific. 
I will disagree about deleting the dead links and closed businesses. Lots of folks are familiar with suppliers they formerly used, recently used or have absolutely heard of... being able to scan down the list of the businesses that are gone is a way to head off numerous questions and suggestions to “I always liked ______”
And if you leave them in their own collection at the end, nobody that is searching for a new bullet supplier has to bother looking at them. They are out of the way at the end of the list.

The issue I see there is that the shipping fee goes away, but state tax takes over.
I updated the list so active links are at the top, and dead links and closed companies are at the bottom. I hope that works.
Shipping is negligible. Most are using USPS flat rate so you can get75 lbs or around 2K bullets in one large flat rate. You would spend more money on gas to drive to the places plus tax, unless you live next door. In that case you wouldn't be looking for a supplier.

Montana Bullet Works has been re-opened.

Montana Bullet Works - Custom Ladle Cast Bullets
They are much different than Montana Gold and have a huge collection of the LBT molds, some unique.
They also offer both the true Keith style and a GC version (Elmer would not have approved).
Some of their .44's go up has large as .433" which is unusual.

Take a look at Reeds Ammunition and Research. I order bullets for my .455 Eley from them. They have some unique bullet selections.

Excellent, if pricey, bullets for hunting and many other purposes, including frangible. Mostly rifle stuff. Ammo too.
