The long bullet with no crimp grove work great for ammo for my Marlin 1894. Mostly eliminated to failure to feed isues.

These bullets allow me to load to an OAL of just over 1.5 inches. My Marlin 1894 kept choking on anything I fed it, until I started using these bullets. The absence of a crimp grove makes for a smooth bullet, and my Dillon makes a nice, smooth Crimp.

Anyone with a new Marlin should try these.

Consistant quality

Very pleased with the 127grn bullets loaded and shot over 1500 so far and tried many other brands and grains love the service and speed in shipping hats off to Badland Bullets Thank you and I will buy more,

Needed a bullet that would load longer. These work Great. Badman has great quality control and produce a very consistent product. Like um a lot!!!

Excellent service, good selection of bullets
Would like to see what loads others are using

Loaded to 1.50" in .38 Special case and crimped with a Lee FC die, they fed flawlessly in my Marlin.

Loaded to 1.40" in .38 Special cases, same crimp, the worked well out of Safariland loaders in my K frame Smith in Double Action Revolver competition.

I'm happy. I'll be ordering more of the same in a couple months.

...a bullet that WORKS in the Darlin' Marlin. Being able to seat just a bit long has all but eliminated the glitches in feeding. I used these bullets to great effect at the SASS Western Regional and NV state matches in 2013. Highly recommended.

I have purchased from several different bullet makers lately. The norm was wrinkled and ugly bullets. These are not only good looking and the quality shows but also consistent. Highly recommended.

These bullets are great. I have had no hang ups while shooting in my 73 at many cowboy shoots. My re-loader says these are the best bullets he has ever worked with. Can easily set to any OAL you want.

Excellent product.

haven't shot them yet, will review after match in Yuma in Jan

I have tried several of their bullets and I love them all. They load great. They shoot great. Good job Badman.

Always an easy transaction and a great product. They don't always have my bullet in stock but sign up to be notified and presto! Good looking bullets and quick delivery. What else could you ask for?

Gives you more options to overall bullet length.

Almost to pretty to shoot, but when I did they were right on. Thank you for a great product!

Let's you set to almost any depth you want. 357 Overall Length in 38 is no problem.

I have tried both the 105 TFP and the Badlands Bud bullet. My opinion is superiority and quality each time I shoot. Never any issues after 10,000 plus rounds! Lovem!

I was having problems getting a rifle to run 38 specials. After I found the Badman Bullets with no crimp groove,it has run flawless. Great bullet!!!

These are well made bullets with very consistent specs. I particularly like the fact that there is no crimp grove so you can set the round up to any length you need to run smoothly in your rifle. Badman also provides great customer service. I recommend them to anyone shooting cowboy action.

Loading the Badman 127 RNFP to 1.448 on a Dillon XL-650 with no negative issues to speak of. The lead does not shave in the die and the lube does not accumulate within the dies to speak of. Great shooting bullet, at 10 yards in my Ruger New Vaquero's the groups are about 3/4", lead fouling within the gun is minimal. I recommend these fine bullets without hesitation!
Best.

This Badlands Bud 127 has become my go to bullet in my 73. Dont get me wrong, the 105 Badman works great but I needed just a little more weight to handle the knock down targets I encounter around here. I like having the option on case overall length without having to deal with a crimp groove. Im setting these at 1.500 with .38 cases and that sets the crimp just forward of the lube groove. They feed perfectly! The quality of this cast bullet is perfect with the lube only in the groove and the smoothness of the bullet. You can see they use good quality molds..

The BMB's have ran very well for my rifles & pistols. I was having some trouble with a new Winchester 73 that I had recently bought snaging rounds and generaly not running very smoothly. These BM bullets allowed me to set the crip where I needed it and tailor the overall length of the shell to suit my rifle & it has been running smooth since. Excellent product.

Great Bullets

Great service, fast response and excellent loading information.
Thanks for the Help!

Great bullets to feed a picky '92. You can load at any length.

Makes my Rossi Model 92 shoot like a Henry big boy... No more jammed action amazing what making the OAL of the 38spl a little longer will do. Cheaper then shootin' 357 ammo.

Great bullets for a rifle that is finiky about OAL

Super consistant, great bullets. Feed better than other bullets.

Just got through shooting Comancheria Days At The Texican Rangers.Badman bullets Performed Flawlessly

I use these 127 gr bullets for my .38 Spl cowboy pistol & rifle reloads. Had a trusted friend tell me that crimpless bullets can be a problem in tube magazine lever guns, but many hundreds of rounds and no problem yet. I use a Lee factory crimp die on them and that seems to pinch them in place pretty good even without a groove.

These bullets are easy to adjust COL 38 or 357 to function in My 92 rifle or 73 revolver. No failures to date. I will order again and again.
Thank you.

Chili Petin and Holly Pena only use BADMAN BULLETS!

If you shoot 38's in a 357 gun it is very important to have the correct OAL. With these bullets you have zero problem with length. With 2.6 gr Clays they shoot easy and straight.
GREAT BULLETS!

These bullets can be seated to a 1.510 OAL in 38special cases. Thats what my marlin 1894 cycles best. Well made bullets, I will definitely buy more.

I have been using BADMAN BULLETS for about 3 years now and can tell you they are the best on the market. The company also take care of customer questions

Finally... a bullet I can load in .38 cases and run out to the OAL needed for my lever action to reliably feed. Now I don't have to load .38's for my single action and .357's for my lever. One .38 load for both, now that I've found this bullet. Also very consistent and fires clean. Highly recommend any of the Badman bullets I've tried and these are no exception. Excellent customer service as well...all my questions always answered!

Very satisfied with Badman lead works very good in my marlin 38/357. clean castings. I will be ordering again.

1. easy to navigate and order
2. fast delivery
3. Fair prices
4. Generous discounts to return customers.
5. Crimps great, shoots straight

These bullets work perfect in my wife's 38's and our 92 lever guns. Not one stove pipe in a thousand rounds. Thanks guys.

These work great in my 92, as fast as I run it I have not had a single stove pipe. They work well in my wife's 38 Vaquero also. I will be back for more.
Thanks guys
Major General Shagnasty.

Excellent quality and shootability.

ISSUE: SHOOTING 38 SPECIAL LIGHT WEIGHT BULLET, IN 357 RIFLE...MOST LIGHT WEIGHT BULLETS HAVE CRIMPING RING WHICH PREVENTS SEATING THE BULLET OUT MORE TO MAKE IT CYCLE BETTER IN LEVER RIFLES...

THIS BULLET HAS NO CRIMPING RING AND MAKES A LONGER ROUND WHICH LOADS AND CYCLES MUCH FASTER. PROBLEM SOLVED

These are just the ticket. You can make rounds of almost any length and still have satisfactory lubrication.

Shipping is faster than a speeding bullet. Awesome quality. Can't wait to go out and shoot them in my Rossi.

We do our own reloading for Cowboy Action Shooting. A buddy recommended Badman's 38 127 RNFP. We tried them and were pleasantly surprised at how well they seated during the reloading process. Our test firings proved the bullet's worth, gave consistent accuracy and dependable performance. It's a winner that we'll keep buying.

These are great looking bullets. You get free shipping on 1000+ which can't be beat. All I can say is try 'em, you'll be glad you did.

Product Review of your 38 127 RNFP shot out of my Taylor's and Company 1873 COMPACT CARBINE off the bench at 25 yards with iron sights. I will be using this load in my Pistol Caliber Carbine Iron Sight (PCCI) rifle at next month's World Championships. Really looking forward to it! The load is 3.6 grains of VihtaVuori N320 in a 38spl. case with an overall length of 1.50"

I needed a bit longer bullet that would load well in my 357/38 cal Marlin and not jamb when loading. The longer 127 grn is doing well with this scenario.

I have been using these for about 5-6 years and are extremely happy with them. They load well, shoot well and are very consistent.
