    Pat (verified owner) – October 29, 2016

    Glad I gave these a try! Was going to stick with the more commercial ones I was using just cause I had a proven formula. Using the same charge, at ~1200fps, 4.5″ max spread of 10 shots, with most staying within 3″, at 25yds works for my plinking purposes. Every bit as good or better than what I was using, at a much better price!

    Trying these for target loads in my .357. I’m going to experiment with different loads of HP-38 to adjust the point of impact. Flys nice and leaves a clean hole.

    Indeed a true replica of H&G # 51 bevel base, as confirmed by a 40 + yr old H&G catalog. Great in 357 Magnum and makes a fine all round bullet in your 38 Special. Stateline’s SWC is better in my opinion than the typical hard cast SWCs out there.

    Service is great – got my order in two days!

    What a awsome cast bullet. Shoots unbelievable out of my 357. Thanks Jim for casting these shooters.

    “Outstanding Quality Bullet” Just tested some 357 recipes (bunny fart loads for plinking, moderate loads and magnum zombie loads) using this SWC with my S&W 686 Plus w/ 5″ bbl and I love it. The loads were accurate and tight. The big plus for me was no leading, which means no extra elbow grease cleaning my revolver “Nice”. So if your on the fence don’t hesitate just order these quality SWC bullets. Just when I find a quality lead bullet I and my revolver like the children in Sacramento are in the process of passing a bill that prohibits lead bullets to be used @ indoor and out door ranges. They already outlawed lead bullets for hunting.

    Ordered some 250 rounds of .41 Mag bullets, they came really well packed, no way they would not arrive intact, weighed some and they are pretty consistent, I ordered some of their .38 Cal 158 grain Keith type bullet and look forward to receiving them.
    Both Jim and his son Bob are very easy to talk with on any order.

    My .38 caliber 158-grain SWC arrived and I loaded 200 rounds yesterday, very happy with their product, the end result was a very good looking round.
    I will be buying many more bullets from Stateline Bullets

    I love these bullets for hole poking and steel plate shooting. They are definitely more accurate than I am capable of shooting. Use 38 special cases – use 3.6 grains of Accurate #2 powder – Winchester WSP primer and a COL of 1.460. Shoot them out of my 6″ barrel S&W 686. Shoot these all day and never get beat up. Thanks again for the fast shipping and top notch quality of your product. Plan on using the .41 and .44 as soon as I need them.

    .38 cal 158 grain SWC bullets. Packaged so well that I had trouble getting into them. I had to use a knife to finally get in. Inspection showed the bullets to be of excellent quality. Shipping was extremely fast and the price was excellent. Will order again and again.
    Thanks Harold M.

    Great bullets. Shipped them fast and worked perfectly. I was also impressed by the customer service when I sent an email. After 8 at night and they still emailed me back in under an hour. Good company to do business with.

    Derek – January 30, 2021

    Great customer service from Jim and his team. I received my bullets and the quality looks good. The H&G #51 158 grain SWC has a shorter nose and a wider meplat compared to the run of the mill SWC’s available, at a great price. Just what I was looking for.

    Sorry for taking so long for this review, I am beginning to load these bullets now. I want to thank you for your quick shipping and your exceptional packaging. The bullets arrived with lube intact and in fine shape. I will write a complete review after time at the range. Thank you all again, for your prompt service in this time of hard to come by supply.
