Has anyone used the coated bullets from Missouri bullet Company and what where your results with them. Thanks.

No leading, very little smoke, typically cheaper than plated except when Xtreme does free shipping. Coated bullets seem to solve all the problems posed by shooting regular lead. Buy with confidence would be my advice. I've used their 200gr 430's out of 29's and 629's. I like them. If they don't have the weight you want, take a look at Bayou Bullets.

Thanks for the info

My experience as well . . . based on using their 158 gr coated LSWC in both .38 Special (12 Brinell) & .357 magnum (18 Brinell).

And if you order two 500 count boxes like I recently did, warn your mail carrier they will come in a flat-rate box.

Have shot many. Loads about the same as plated.
You may note a very faint smell similar to burning electrical.

If you have to shoot lead bullets out of a pistol, this is the way to go.
In a 9mm 3.5" barrel I got a 125gr (no grove) from 916 to 1173fps. Clean up fast and easy.
Grouped almost as well as my plated bullets but never better.

Do to no leading, they should be the cats meyow in the 38 special or other revolvers that shoot lead bullets.
I have a few .358 dia. 9mm loaded in my 38 cases but have yet to shoot them.

Good luck.

I'm shooting their 124gr coated 9mm bullets and I like them a lot. I tried to make them fail to find their limits but could not. I pushed them to over 1200fps with a full charge of Longshot and no leading at all and no loss of accuracy. I recommend coated bullets is lube smoke annoys you too.

I still use plain lead in my revolver cartridges.

Pretty much same as above. I have had very positive results with coated bullets and the cost is significantly less than plated and a ton less than jacketed.

I tried Missouri bullet Hy-Tek coated 158gr SWC's for 38/357. Very even coating, no mold lines, sized to what they said they were. Thought they seated with minimum pressure and they shot just fine. Felt they were a higher quality bullet to others I've loaded. Ordered and loaded some 124gr. for 9mm with the same results. They're a few bucks more per 1K than others I had been using but I seem to be getting a very good product. I will be ordering more and for other calibers soon from them.

All positives as long as the coatings are properly cured. I really like the Missouri Hy-Tek coated bullets. The 'candy coated' powder coated bullets are good too.

Clean, no lead, you can push velocities up there, accuracy good, no complaints.

I've used Missouri Bullets for several years now and have built up a pretty good stockpile in the types I use. In the past year or so I've ordered the coated versions in .38, .44 and .45 to try out. I've found them to work as advertised, in both conventional and ECM rifling. As I use up my stock of conventional hard cast they will be replaced with coated ones.

I haven't used Missouri's Hy Tek coated, but you can't argue with all the other folks success here. I have used Bayou bullets Hy Tek coated bullets and haven't been able to make them lead yet in a pistol in 9 MM, 380 Auto, 38 Special/357 Mag and 44 Mag. I wouldn't hesitate to try Missouri's bullets myself and next time I need to order I might do so as that way I skip paying state tax.

I've switched from plated to coated. If you keep an eye out you'll find free shipping from one of the bullet coaters at various times and then you'll be getting a great deal. I'm partial to Acme Bullets, they look great and most important they have bullets in the sizes I want with no lube groove, NLG. You really don't want an old style cast bullet that has just been coated. Get a newer style that was designed to be coated.
