1. IF YOUR GONNA SHOOT LEAD !!!

   This is my second order with the boys at Bayou.I have had excellent results with any where from 5.3 grs of unique upwards behind their 230 gr green round nose. Really nice bullet at a most fair price.My latest order was for the 240 gr 44 red "KEITH TYPE " and the only thing I can say at this time is that the ship time was unbelievable ! Ordered on the 13th and received on the 16th ,,,La. to upstate NY. I'm waiting for a case trimmer die so I can get all my old 44 mag cases to the same length , but my suspicions tell me that I'm gonna love these bullet too. Good bunch of guys ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,CHECK THEM OUT ! ! Unknown on 21st Mar 2015

2. great bullet

   I have been using Bayoubullets for about a year. They work well. Great value too. David Garrison on 20th Feb 2015

3. Time to Buy in Bulk

   Started making a hunting load for my Super Blackhawk. After trying 5 different 240gr SWC lead bullets, I keep coming back to Bayou. Incredibly accurate length and weight wise, they also have incredible consistency with their baked lube finish. I have yet to receive any that are deformed, lacking finish, etc. Thanks for the great product, and it performed with excellent results this year. 1 headshot on a central texas doe at 45 yards. Clean entrance hole, slightly larger exit with down right there results. Who could ask for more? Eric from TX on 20th Dec 2014

4. Everything you ever wanted in a Cast Bullet

   Accurate, clean with no leading at a good price. Excellent service with prompt shipping. Chris Krck on 18th Dec 2014

5. perfect solution for S&W .44 resulting from small cylinder throats

   I have a S&W model 629 .44 and after researching leading issues with it I found that the 629 has cylinder throats that are too small, referencing SAAMI spec, which results in horrendous leading. I was ready to shelf the gun after going through the process of home copper plating, which didn't survive the tight throats, when I read of other peoples success using the Bayou coated bullets. After loading 100 rounds I found zero leading and can now shoot the .44 without any leading and with impressive accuracy. Thanks dan on 7th Dec 2014

6. Didn't bellieve the hype

   Have read about Bayou Bullets in the forums but generally take what I read on forums with a grain of salt. Heard the claims about shooting clean, no leading, clean bore after shooting - - - yeah.
   
   Finally broke down and bought a sample pack. Loaded up some .44 specials, 5.5 grains Red Dot. Just got home from the range. Have to say these were the cleanest shooting bullets I have ever loaded. Nice to load, nice to shoot, bore is clean and shiny.
   
   Will be shooting more Bayou Bullets in the future. Gary Caple on 24th Sep 2014

7. as good as most jacketed bullets & better than some

   I've been shooting S&W's 44 mag 29's & 629's since 1957. I used nothing but sierra jacketed bullets but because of our incompetent gov. in wash. D.C. I can no longer afford them. several years ago i switched to cast bullets. tried several brands and settled on PENN bullets they make a fine cast bullet, but its still a lubed lead bullet and it requires a lot of clean up after loading and shooting. I finally heard about these coated bullets and decided to try them. I ordered 500 240 gr gold semi wad cutter 44cal. I loaded up loads, using unique, 2400, imr4227 powder slow burning, medium, and fast burning. I varied the loads with each powder from low 955 fps to hi 1467fps with 6" S&W mod 29-5. I took a clean patch with oil ran it down bore twice then dry patch. (WOW)not a trace of lead. dry patch came out clean.I just ordered 1500 of there 215 gr gold bullets. THIS OLD MAN IS IMPRESSED !!!!!!! jerry fox on 29th Jun 2014

8. Outstanding

   I ordered this 100ct box of bullets just to try them out as I am just getting in to loading for 44 Magnum/Special. I loaded 50 44 specials at 870fps, no smoke, lead or any other fouling what so ever in the bore on the first try. I also loaded up 50 Magnums all the way up to 1456fps With no smoke, lead or any other fouling, and they were very accurate. All bullets were +/- .2gr in weight, and exactly .430 in diameter which is excellent. These are high value, high quality bullets that are needed in a market where reloading is getting annoyingly pricey. S on 24th Jun 2014
