Awesome looking bullets

[Shorty]

Has anyone ever heard of, seen, or used this bullet company? They sure look tempting...

They sure look wicked. I wonder if these are produced from the same manufacturer makin' Luke's Arrowheads?
Pittman maybe?

I know 2 ppl that shoot Alco Bullets exclusively out of their SML’s. They love those bullets. And the price isn’t bad either, comparatively.

I wonder if there practice or bonded for hunting...?

Those bullets have a thin .020 copper jacket and they have a swaged lead core.

I went on Alco's site & read the FAQ page & everything about how their bullets are made. I had read all that stuff 3 yrs ago when I first heard of them.
I saw nothing about them being a " bonded core " bullet. I read that the cores are swaged which means they are pressed into form, then I believe they are pressed into their jackets, then the base & meplat are put on. So, I think that they are outstanding target bullets, but they will grenade on game like the Parkers do.

Hitting bone will open up the animal really bad, such as a shoulder shot would ruin at minimum one complete shoulder.

IIRC it might have been ALCO that made Pittmans early on. Kyle said the guy screwed him and was selling his bullets. Used Kyles dies or whatever and sold bullets on the side. Then when Kyle wanted his stuff back there was some other issue.

Not 100% sure if it was ALCO but anyone on Hanks can ask Kyle if its the same guy.

Great idea, I'd find that interesting to learn myself.

I just ordered a couple boxes from Kyle to try out this weekend. Had a great phone conversation with him and he pointed me in the right direction on a couple issues.
Thank you Kyle!

Kyle's Pittman bullets are A#1. He also has great, personal, customer service.
He developed, invested in, and took all the risks. He deserves the rewards and fruits of his labor. Not some company with stolen knock offs.
