Montana Bullet Works

I bought my .44 Mag Henry BBB 10 years ago. For the first 2 years I reloaded with 240 gr. jacketed HP bullets. Accuracy results at 75-100 yds. were not acceptable. Someone told me to switch to hard cast lead bullets. I called Henry's HQ, and a technician told me to use 250 gr RN lead bullets. I called Beartooth Bullets and spoke with Marshall Stanton who recommended his 250 gr. gas checked bullets. Results with them were superb, 3" groups at 75 yds. with a Skinner peep sight. Time from order to shipment was 3-4 months, so in 2021 I placed an order for 300 bullets. Glad I did because shortly after that order shipped, Beartooth Bullets ceased operations.
I searched the internet for another manufacturer of a similar bullet but could not find a company who would gas check 250 gr. bullets. I am a stickler for GC bullets, but I do not want to install the gas checks myself because I have to do that with .405 gr, bullets for my .45-70 and it is a time consuming, pain in the neck.
Recently, I noticed that the Montana Bullet Works Co. had begun installing gas checks on their 250 gr RN bullets. I spoke with Ben at the company and he assured me i would be pleased with their brand. So, on 1/17/2025 I ordered 200 bullets, and they arrived yesterday 1/28. I weighed them and measured the diameter of several bullets, and everything is consistent with what I ordered. I will test a batch at the range when the temperate gets above 40 degrees F. and will post a range report shortly after that.

I just received my MBW order, posted above. Mine was for 300 358156 w/gc. Im pretty impressed. It seems by the time I discovered the wonderful world of cast bullet goodness alot of the top casters went under.

Bill are those for a revolver or a rifle?

You can go ahead, and thank California, for contributing to the demise of cast bullets

Ca needs to go ahead and fall off of the coast.
