I have had very good results from Magnus 701 style. It shoots very well at least to 50 yards in my 629. The 709 style looks interesting. Terry is a very good guy. http://saas.shopsite.com/magnusbullets/store/page7.html

44 S&W Special Lead Cast Bullets
Oregon Trail Laser Cast Lead Bullets have
free shipping NOW.
Currently I have been using their 240gr RN FP
.431 dia. I also use their 240gr SWC .431 dia.
I had been getting them from Cabela's, but
buying them direct from Oregon is more
reasonable priced now.
I ran out of the RN FP and will be putting in an
order.
Best of luck in your endeavor.

Do you "Google"?? Simply type "cast bullet makers" in the search field of your browser and you will get more results than you ever imagined there are. For the most part they all use automatic casting equipment from the same two manufacturers, so essentially they all sell the same product! The only real difference is bullet lube color, cost, shipping cost, and sizing options, if any.

Dardas Bullets in Michigan on quality cast.
I have had great results from Missouri coated bullets
Just make sure to check, some manufacturers offer 400ct instead of 500ct when you price shop

I have been using these coated bullets and they really leave the barrel clean.

I concur. Very good bullets. I wait until they have a no shipping promotion
and then buy. I've shot 4000 of their .40 180 gr TC bullets out of the Shields
this year. Right now they are doing the no ship fee for orders of 100.00 or
more.

I actually have a spreadsheet for that. You input:
-Grain-weight of the bullet
-Quantity in a box
-Price per box
-Discount %
-Flat-rate shipping price
-Number of boxes you plan on ordering
And it spits out:
-Price per 500 and per-bullet, including shipping, assuming a perfect 65-pound order
-Price per 500 and per-bullet, including shipping, for the number of items you plan on ordering
-Price per 500 before shipping
-Total weight of the box, to assist in filling the flat-rate box
It makes it simple to compare vendors, and see how much buying a more expensive or cheaper bullet would cost.
If anyone cares, I can share it out.
I'll second the Summers Enterprises bullets. You can get 2000 of them in one flat rate box for $14 shipping. Total cost for 2000 of them delivered is $154 - 7.7 cents each. Pretty hard to beat.

I am enjoying looking at all the websites,,
I just recently used up the last of the locally purchased 44 bullets I purchased over a decade ago,,
Now,, I gotta brace myself for these higher pricing,,,
My hoarding really paid off,, but, all good things come to an end,,,
If I was smart,, I would "mine" my backstop dirt pile,, and cast my own,,,

Google is ok, but I think the OP was looking for personal experience with different brands of cast bullets. Although the machinery to make cast bullets, may be the same, there is sometimes a difference in quality, especially when it comes to what kind of metal alloy is used. Cheapest isn't always best.
I've had good luck with this company, they don't offer coated bullets and the casting is 2-2-96 which is not a hard cast and can't be pushed to hard. The 250gr Keith style has preformed well in both my .44 spl.

I had good luck with SnS bullets and Missouri bullets.
Both in cast and their coated bullets. Recently I've been using mostly coated bullets and really like them.
I have also recently used some GT hollow point bullets that andy52 posted about a few weeks ago..
They seem to be a bit soft. But loaded at about 825 -850 fps for a 38 spl. or 45 acp revolver open up quite nicely.
Missouri bullets use to have a rusty colored coating. I always told folks, they were cast bullets that were so old they had rusted.
