Buffalo Bullet Company?

[CatamountRob]

According to their FaceBook page they will be reopening in June in Carson City, NV.
Anyone heard anything?
I used to shoot their bullets and it would be great to have options again. Below is one of their comments to an inquiry.

“Currently all production has ceased, while we relocate to Carson City, Nevada. Buffalo Bullets first availability will happen June of 2018. Our initial production will be the .50 caliber 385 gr. Hollow point, hollow base and the .50 caliber 245 gr. Ball-et. Our schedule for third quarter of 2018 will be the continuation of our Ball-et line, .58 caliber 380 gr. down to .32 caliber 70 gr. Please email us at [email protected] and send us your contact information, that way we can get your pre-order added to our production. Also by third quarter our customers will be able to purchase on-line at www.BuffaloBulletIndustries.com. Thank you for your continued interest and future support !!”

It's an old post. I did a quick search and can't find anything about them. I did like the Ball-Et. It was a good bullet. I still have a few original Buffalo bullets somewhere in my shooting stuff.

 

[muzzlestuffer]

Yeah I looked too do you have any of the 32/70 by chance I'll have a mold made

 

[deermanok]

No, I have a few 50 caliber, in the 400? grains range.

They never reopened unfortunately. I don't know what kind of market there is anymore for full bore lead bullets to sustain a stand alone business. There's a reason they closed in the first place. Making lead bullets in California couldn't have been a friendly business environment either. They had some great designs and such a variety. They had a .54 ball-et in 310gr. that was a great shooter in any .54 I tried it in. Their bullets were a very snug fit which is probably why they shot so well. I have a color catalog from 1995 and a 2005 price list that I peruse every once in a while. If I knew how to post pictures I would post the catalog. I think it could be a good side business if someone had the tooling to make their .54 bullets.

Stacy doesn't have time for that. He's been slaving away in his underground laboratory finding a way to use those little red plastic caps in lieu of primers...
