I have been doing some research and shooting trying to find one load that will perform out of my .44 mag. Encore pistol w/ a 12 inch barrel and 2X scope. After numerous tries w/ jacketed, SWC, and hardcast bullets from Stateline, I have settled on a Stateline 245 gr. Keith style hardcast bullet over a CCI 300/Rem 2 1/2 primer charged w/ 21.0 grs. of IMR-4227 powder. It will cut holes at 25 yds. and shoot well under 2 inches at 50 yds. which is plenty good for the areas I hunt. No evidence of leading either. I will be converting my .357 & .41 mags to Stateline bullets as well.

Obtained load data from Lyman’s 49th handloading guide using 2400 powder. Excellent accuracy with minimal leading in my S&W 29-2 8 3/8” barrel. Will absolutely purchase again!

I have been looking high and low can’t find anything like your 44 cal 245 SWC. Hope your casting as we speak because l am out. Waiting to hear from you, love your cast boolits. Thanks very much.

Love these hard cast bullets in my TC Contender and Ruger Redhawk…arrived in perfect condition, are very hard and the lube is still in the lube groove! Haven’t hunted with them yet but I can see no reason why they won’t work just fine up here in Alaska for caribou, black bear and (only if necessary) brown bears. Now just waiting for them to get 357 hard cast back in stock…

Jim, tried a few of your .430 dia. bullets in my ruger black hawk ,44 special yesterday, they did everything your advertisement said they would do. At twenty yards I shot a 1.5 ” group with 7.5 grs. of Unique powder, Starline cases CCI 300 primers. Experienced a little lead scuffing in the barrel, probably due to barrel is not broken in yet. Your .431 dia. bullets shot basically 1 hole at same range and powder charge. I will highly recommend your product to any one who inquires about your company, service was extremely fast, received my bullets in two days, and the phone call to you ,you took time to address my question about your product. I am a Vietnam veteran and have been a reloader for approximately 55 years and have never had dealings with people in this shooting sport of your caliber, in other words, Jim, what ever you tell some one they can take to the bank.
Keep up the good work.
Mike, Lore City , Ohio

Just received my shipment. I have not fired any yet. Shipping was very quick. They were packaged well and appear to be very consistent. The lube was well done and all in the grooves. They seem to be very hard and I am well pleased. Will order again. Thank you!

Great cast 44 Keith boolits. They’re the only game in town besides MBW sizing 44 cal boolits to .431, which is what I need without serious leading, and these Stateline boolits are literally half the price as MBT and equal quality. Add old world customer service and you have a winner by every metric.
