Slippery Bullets

Slippery Bullets manufactures polymer-coated cast lead bullets for reloaders who want quality ammunition at a fraction of factory prices. Operating as a local New Hampshire bullet maker, they focus on what reloaders actually need: consistent sizing, reliable coatings, and competitive pricing.

Their bullets use premium certified lead alloys—no scrap lead. They offer two distinct alloy options:

• •Hard Ball Alloy – For standard and magnum velocity loads
• •Cowboy Alloy (12 BHN) – Specifically developed for Cowboy Action Shooting and lower velocity pistol loads

The coating is premium polymer, not powder coat. This matters because powder coat can burn off or create leading issues; their polymer coating is designed specifically for bullets and handles magnum velocities without problems.

Their inventory spans:

Every 500 bullets purchased enters you into their annual Dillon XL750 giveaway—a complete press setup in your chosen caliber. They've also announced upcoming Mark 7 Apex 10 equipment giveaways.

• •Free shipping on orders over $70
• •Typical lead time: 2 weeks (backorder tag means bullets are cast and waiting for coating/sizing)
• •Some complex orders: 3-4+ weeks
• •Prices range from $10 for bulk .32 caliber up to $289 for large quantity 38/357 loads

They recommend using cast bullet load data from a quality reloading manual. One benefit of casting your own is customization—they've tested their bullets to magnum velocities without issues. The Cowboy Alloy is particularly good for lower-velocity competition loads but works equally well in standard handloads.
