Thanks for the review. I was thinking about buying some coated 203 grain projectiles from them but read a review on 'slickguns' that said the following -
'I purchased these in the last post - the company is great and stands behind their product. As for the projectiles - they are powder coated cast lead. They will have imperfections and the top and bottoms will not be perfect. Mine were damaged in shipping and they took care of it immediately. They will work fine - but don't expect match accuracy.'

Your review changed my mind. I well be ordering some bullets from them. The bullets in your picture look good.

 

Can't tell.. is that brass annealed? If not let me take it home with me and it'll come back to you properly annealed. Not a huge fan of the places that skip annealing when they form brass. You end up with very very stiff necks and inconsistent tension. Don't forget Lucky 13 will have coated bullets soon!

 

Its not annealed but that is not a big deal to me. These will be sub sonic rounds. I'm sure I'll try the 13s but the biggest thing for me is the price on the brass/bullet combos. Thanks for the offer on the annealing though.

 

I found an old (2012) thread on the 300BlkTalk forum on testing the 247 grain bullets from BlackoutBrass.co - http://www.300blktalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=141&t=81268

Some load data from post - OAL is 2.2 - No crimp and no anneal.
9.0gr 1680 gave 797fps
10.0gr 1680 gave 836fps
11.0gr 1680 have 1019, 993, and 969fps
11.1gr 1680 gave 940, 947, and 1038fps
11.2gr 1680 gave 1043, 1057, 1071, and 1015fps

I tested 11.0, 11.1, and 11.2gr 1680 for accuracy with one 6 shot group of each load. None shot well, but 11.2gr 1680 was the best of those. At each increase in powder charge, the group would get smaller, but I stopped as I wanted them to remain subsonic.

 

Thanks. I'll give that a shot.

 

Updated findings.

 

If anyone has some gel that we can shoot these into that would be great. I'd love to know what they look like and at what speed they need to be going to do the most damage.

 

I ordered 200 pieces of brass and 200 of their cast boolits on 1/9. Not a peep from them since. I sent email 2 days ago asking for an ETA without response. if you don't count the day I ordered or today or weekends, that's 7 full business days without a shipping notice. I'll give it another week before getting well and truly irritated, but so far I'm not impressed by the CS.

 

It took awhile for mine to show up too, ordered on 12/30 and delivered on 1/12. A signature was required but my mail man is cool.

 

Sorry hear that guys. They may be at shot show. I know it's a small group of guys working there.

 

Yeah....could be. But I don't excuse that for failing to get orders shipped. Being at SHOT didn't cause any delay in taking my money.

They could have updated their website with something like, "We'll be gone to Shot Show and order fulfillment will be delayed".

 

That's true and I know some companies, like Griffin, out that on their website.

 

I have a Saker 7.62 in jail right now.

Do you think there will be any issues firing the coated bullets through a sealed can?

I'm considering doing a form 1 suppressor if I build a 300 BLK for the sole purpose of shooting subsonic coated cast bullets, but if there won't be any issues firing them through the Saker then that saves me $200.

 

Should be no issues as the coating doesnt come off easily

 

I've run this coated bullet without any problems. Coated will be fine if done correctly.
