Never had a problem with 147 Black Bullets and a LEE FCD. I've been using them since before the warning was on their site. This is the first I've heard of it...

Are they referring to the Lee/EGW "U" die... or the Factory Crimp Die?

I emailed them about this before I bought any of their bullets. They are referring to the undersize dies not the standard FCD.

Good to know! I would like to try their 158gr 38spec but I guess I will have to get a taper crimp die. The Dillon die I have is a roll crimp.

Has anybody got on board with their contingency program yet? I have been thinking about it.

I have shirt on the way from them. Basics:

Buy the shirt direct from Techwear.
Shoot in a match which qualifies.
Finish well and win 1K of free bullets.

No. He lists the criteria on the website, but thats it. Since I primarily shoot IDPA, its easy. The state championship matches all qualify, but very few others.

If I were ypu, I'd simply call Tony up and ask. He always replies to my emails, but it can take a while. He's been great about answering the phone during buisness hours when I've called him. Let us know what he says.

I know I am really late to this thread, but it seems like folks are happy with these. I did notice a post indicating that weight may be inconsistent. Has anyone found a good reason not to use these?

I previously used Master Blasters, but switched over to Precision Bullets when the MBs were hard to get. The Precisions are swagged instead of cast, but I don't know how much that really matters.

I just made the switch from Production to Lim 10 and needed bullets on a budjet, I know and shoot with Tom and Tony and their BBI bullets are very affordable, I can shoot .40 SW for about the same price as 9mm jacketed bullets. I am shooting a Glock 24, 4.3gr Universal Clays, 180gr BBI and am at 170 PF with no smoke. I am using the stock Glock barrel and have had no leading so far, I am very happy with their product and would recommend them to anyone. :cheers: Dan

Anyone know if BBI offers additional volume discounts greater than the 3k on the website? I'm considering 5K - 10K 9mm 130s or more depending on discounts.

Thanks!

Just got my first 500 BBI's a few weeks ago. (9mm 147 gr.)So far they look very promising. I just wish payday would hurry up and get here so I could place my next order.

I ordered 18k of 130s two months back. He made me a pretty good deal. I won't post specifics, but I'm glad I called and asked.

Email was always answered, bur usually took 3+ days. Calling until ypu catxh him would be my recommendation.
