2. Really good bullet

   First time loading lead bullets. Worked perfectly. No mess, no bother, gun is clean. Bullets shot well. Nice accurate low velocity loads for my .357. Going to order more. Bill Moschler on 30th Aug 2016

3. Just what I was looking for.

   I was doing some load development and I got really good results. I fired 100 rounds and barely began to see some very light leading at the end of the barrel. I especially like that Bayou has them in 100 count so that you can try a bullet before having to invest in larger quantities. All in all, I was very pleased with both the bullets and the company, and will definitely be ordering more. So. Cal Man on 23rd Aug 2016

4. Very Accurate

   I load these with 3.3gr 700x and fire in a Ruger security Six 4" and if I'm on game I can make five round touch at 25 ft each time. I'm not that good every time but it's not the bullets or gun, they'll do it! Mark Lessard on 16th Aug 2016

5. Great product!

   I'm really enjoying these - like everyone has said, much less smoke and everything stays clean. This has been a big help and the different colors do help a lot when mixing loads. Brian on 12th Aug 2016

6. Excellent Product So Far

   Great shipping, ordered on July 4th, (a holiday Monday) and received on July 7th. Have not had time to load any yet but did do a weight comparison with some GDHP's I had on hand. I was just curious as I had never loaded cast bullets before and wondered about weight variance. The 10 GDHP's varied from 157.6 - 158.2 gr, a .6 gr spread. The 10 Bayou's varied from 156.2 gr - 157.0 gr, a .8 gr spread. That's only .2 gr difference between Bayou's and the high dollar bullets. That Impressed me. The fact that the Bayous were slightly below the 158 gr goal should be insignificant on the target. The coating looks very consistent. Now to find some range time. Richard Madden on 18th Jul 2016

7. Very clean, no more smoke!

   Switched to these to try and reduce smoke issue I was having w/ wax lubed hard cast bullets and the difference was amazing. Not only is the bullet accurate, but cleanup is much easier even when shooting Unique.
   
   Great product; would recommend to a friend. Bama Drifter on 2nd Jun 2016

8. Great Bullets

   Good bullets. They donG��t smoke like lubed lead cast bullets. Different colors make it easier for me to categorize my loads/powder charges. BH on 13th May 2016

9. Easy loading in press

   I use these in my NRA pistol classes. I wanted to avoid having my students handle lead bullets. I tried plated bullets but hey were so slippery they were hard to load. These work well and do not expose the students to lead and eliminate leading in the barrel. I like the SWC design because they cut a nice clean hole in the target. No commercial loads in a plated or covered SWC. These fill that spot neglected by commercial firms. John Martin on 10th May 2016

10. Ships fast

    Have yet to test performance and residue left in gun and smoke results but I am happy with the product so far. I like not having to touch the lead and at is easy to pick up and and place on empty cases. It is a standard SWC shape and has a lube grove that is unneeded. You lose a little bearing surface but I doubt that it makes any difference. I am very impressed with how fast it ships. I order on Friday and have it on Monday. I have only tried the gold color but may well try other colors to make it easier to tell which batch the rounds I load came out of. I reload in batches of 1000 and use these with my concealed weapon courses I conduct every week, I would not hesitate to recomed these for reloaders. John Martin on 3rd May 2016
