.38/.357 160 Gr. RN - Sized to .358 (Typical). Other sizes available upon request call or email for options.
This bullet is extremely popular with IDPA, USPSA and ICORE shooters, shoots very accurately in stock revolvers and with it’s pointed nose and no shoulder these bullets speed load extremely well. Works great with .38 short colt brass too. Requires a taper crimp.
In .38 Super Revolvers we recommend these be sized to .357
I shoot these in IDPA Revolver Division and have found them to be excellent performers. Good accuracy, easy loading in my Dillon 650, and gun cleaning is no worse than with use of jacketed or plated bullets. These feed very smoothly in rapid reloads and have replaced my previous use of plated bullets. Excellent value for the money. Unknown on 28th Mar 2024
I shoot IDPA Revolver division with these bullets. They speed load very easily and are simple to load on a Dillon progressive press. Shoot clean and accurately. Reasonably priced. What more do you need. Unknown on 26th Nov 2023

Excellent bullets. I will purchase more. Unknown on 14th Oct 2023
The bullets arrived in time for me to reload for the area7 competition, a 287 round minimum match. Best bullets for my S&W 627. Barrel stays clean and lead free. Skip S. on 11th Jul 2023
I've been shooting 162gn lead .38 special for years and have won multiple competitions and that has made me reluctant to change things. However, I would get some lead buildup near the forcing cone and a little in the cylinders so decided to try Bayou 160gn. They shot to the exact same point of aim with the same accuracy... one inch at 20 yards with 3.4 grains of Bullseye. I shot 50 rounds today with zero leading, then shot 6 rounds of the 162 lead and got leading.
I can't see going back to uncoated lead bullets. David B. on 10th Jul 2023
As in the past, these bullets are perfect! Loaded in short colt cases to a power factor of 130 for my Smith & Wesson 627 they always shoot to the point of aim. In moon clips the coated round nose profile they facilitate a fast and flawless reload. Skip S on 3rd Mar 2023
I use this bullet in my loads for hunter silhouette matches.
Really slam those little rams. James W Krehmke on 17th Feb 2023
Have been using this bullet for years. It is a clean, non leading bullet which produces great accuracy and reliability. I am a frequent competitor in both local and national matches and am very happy to continue with this product. Thanks to the folks at Bayou! craig t wood on 10th Feb 2023
