Not much quality control

Greg - 06/22/2019

I bought 230 and 160 gr. "Coated" bullets from Badman, I weighed and measured Many MANY of them -- all bullets were Over-size and Over-weight. The 230's were from 232 to 234+ gr. and were .453+, so much for "sizing after coating".
To be fair I also bought 230's from 2 other bullet makers and 160's from another - All Coated -- and Each of them were identical in Over-size and over-weight spec's. They ALL showed a very visible bulge in loaded case's but at least they shot.
I will continue to seek some coated bullets that are Correct size and weight but I really do Not expect to because the Pride in Well made bullets appear to be a thing of the past.

Reply from Badman Bullets:

You stated you bought from us plus "3 other bullet companies" and you say "all 4 companies" have over sized bullets. FWIW we mostly all use the same brand of sizing dies. By your logic you are saying that the dies we all use are oversized. Not likely as those dies are all certified to be the correct diameter right from the factory. My guess is you are using a cheap digital caliper made in China. Why would we offer oversized bullets to our customers and be as backlogged and busy as we are with extremely high repeat business?

Great bullets

I bought the sample pack to determine how my 45ACPs shot with these. I just ordered 1000 and will order more once in stock. Awesome bullets as always from Badman

Excellent Chrono Results

Mike M - 08/20/2018

Compared to another copper plated variety of bullet my results were fantastic.

Copper plated: Extreme spread 39, Standard deviation 14

Badman: Extreme spread 18, Standard deviation 8

Also picked up another 100 fps with .2 grains less powder. Very pleased.

I'm Pleased

I have loaded up a batch of your bullets for my .45 ACP Mod .1911-A1 to jacketed bullet specs.with the 230 gr.bullets you sent me.I went out to my shooting area and shot 14 rounds
and was well pleased with them. I examined the barrel and found no fouling at all. I'm pleased, Thanks for asking.

Coating was spotty and uneven.

But they shot fine like any other cast lead projectile.

Reply from Badman Bullets:

What may look as uneven is actually the black pigment that is in the red dye to give it a brick red look.

issues feeding in my glock 21

B.Powers - 04/07/2018

Might be my fault but it was happening , just bought 1000 more so I'll figure it out.

Reply from Badman Bullets:

The feeding issue was more than likely caused by the OAL being too long. This round should be loaded at 1.250” – 1.255”

Good bullet

Elmer Thielman - 08/21/2017

I have previously loaded jacketed and plated bullets. These are my first coated. They worked well, just remember to expand the case a little so you don't scape the coating. I had wanted to load 250gr but couldn't get them. These were kind of short, the crimp comes on the front edge and pulls the bullet back a bit. I was only loading 7-9gr of Unique so shouldn't need a crimp. Barrel was a little dirty with powder but no lead.

Very good shooting bullets. Coating did not get on my fingers like others do will be getting more. Thanks

Consistent shape, weight, and coating

Steve Shields - Washougal River Cartridge Co. - 11/26/2016

Being in the loading business, putting out over 1/2 million rounds a month, I can attest to the absolute need for bullet consistency for efficient operation of our automated machines.

The 45 230gr. RN Poly bullets are just that! The shape, weight, and even poly coating, make these a first choice of our shop when making special customer orders.

Fast shipping and shoot great
