.40 S&W/10mm 180 Gr. TCG - Sized to .401 (Typical). Other sizes available upon request call or email for options.
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 been using the 40/10 180gr TC bullets with the lube groove for about a year with great shooting results, but they were very finicky while seating. If I didn't have the flare "just right" and didn't have the bullet lined up "just right", I'd end up shaving off the coating and some lead during seating. The difference between different brands of brass cases (probably wall thickness) was usually enough to alter the flare enough to cause some brands to tend to shave more than others.
When I saw these ones without the lube groove, I immediately picked some up for testing. They seat much nicer and without shaving in every brand of case that I've tried (I used batches of "miscellaneous" head stamp brass for this test).
The 40/10 180gr TC bullets *were* my GO-TO for my USPSA loads, but now I'm switching to these TCG bullets since I can reload faster (less time spent trying to get everything "just right") and everything else appears to be identical between the two bullets.
Oh, a range trip confirmed the same point of impact between the TC and TCG at 15 yards (back wall of the indoor range). Rich Alloway on 22nd Apr 2015
I bought 500 to try. I will be switching to these for all of my competition shooting. John on 21st Apr 2015
Bayou's 180gr .40 S&W TC Grooveless bullets rock! I've shot close to 7,500 of them and am getting ready to order my fourth case... Shot them last weekend at the Area 6 USPSA match and they performed accurately, as expected. 339 rounds in one day and my barrel is clean... ready to shoot more... The grooveless design helps because I load long... -jb on 15th Apr 2015
You guys (gals) are really on the ball with shipping. I really like this bullet profile, seems to fit my Dillon seater stem perfectly. The Hi Tek coating seems to really help reliability as you get to the end of a long practice session or match. I like the idea of being able to change colors in case I need to change loads/powders because I tend to load large batches at one time. Only downside I see is I'm pretty sure my mail man hates me..... Fantastic bullets and even fantasticer service! Mike on 10th Apr 2015
These bullets are fantastic. They are very consistent. I have already loaded and ran over 5000 of these. Thank you for making such a quality product! Chris on 10th Apr 2015

Thank you! Unknown on 6th Apr 2015
Your bullets are the best in two important areas, performance & value. Bayou Bullets has the fastest ship time that I have ever experienced. Keep up the great work! Unknown on 21st Mar 2015
To date shoot over 5k .. No leading problems what so ever. Grouping is very good.. I'm very satisfied and will continue using. Unknown on 19th Mar 2015
These bullets are a better quality than I expected. They are a lot cleaner than bare lead and they shoot great too. At this price I will be doing a lot more shooting. Tom on 10th Mar 2015
Makes major PF with less powder in my limited gun. Very accurate. Peter on 17th Feb 2015
