By popular demand Bayou Bullets offers a 165 gr TC grooveless bullet.
No grease groove to interfere with seating depth for those shooters who want or need to load long for improved reliability in their favorite pistol.
I've tried several brands, some more expensive from well known companies, and some that cost way less from lesser known companies. For whatever reason the Bayous always seem to be more consistent loads and more evenly coated than all others and they never lead or foul my barrels and seem to group tighter. I would wait months on Bayou pills than use cheaper brands I can get in days, it's just plain worth it. Skeetzappa on 23rd Feb 2024
I was currently using a .400 dia. bullet and I thought I would try one at .401 dia. I was pleased with the tighter groups and will probably switch to this one from Bayou. Unknown on 10th Feb 2024
You folks make a good product. Consistent size and finish. The coating seems to be durable and the best part, I save money.
Copper jacketed and plated bullets have gone up in price considerably and probably won't be coming down anytime soon. Your products make shooting and reloading enjoyable again. Frank in Florida on 20th Dec 2023
Easy to load, shoot straight, that's all I need! Unknown on 27th Sep 2023
Bayou Bullets is my "go to" source for bullets in all of the pistol calibers I reload. They are consistent in quality and accurate on the range. Prices are competitive, and orders are filled on time. If you are still shooting plated or jacketed bullets, give these 165 grain polymer coated .40 S&W bullets a try...you won't be disappointed. Bill V. on 30th Jun 2023
I recently made my first purchase from Bayou in search of a Hard Cast for my .40 that I could load very light for practice but also push hard for woods use. I already reviewed the 147 gr 9mm and this bullet hits the mark for my .40. Gun is a Glock 23 w/KKM aftermarket barrel. I've been using 165 & 180 gr plated bullets and they have shot very well. However, the ones I've been using are (IMO) too soft for woods use. From Bayou, I tried both the 165 FP and the 175 SWC. Both had good accuracy but the 175s proved to be problematic in feeding. However, these HC 165s gave equivalent feeding to the plated and of course a much harder bullet for woods carry. I loaded these to about 775 fps for practice and about 1150 for the woods. I was really interested in the 175 SWC but these 165s hit the mark right away and I told myself "don't overthink it" So.....one bullet for both target/training and the woods which was what I wanted!!!
