.45 bullets. Lead vs Hi-tek and polymer coating  Empty .45 bullets. Lead vs Hi-tek and polymer coating

The options for lead reloading seems to be dwindling. Precision Delta, Brazos , and others do not seem to have anything left from what I can see. A few of the US manufacturers such as Badman , ammunition, and Missouri castings currently have 45s. Has anyone used their coated bullets? Or should I just stick with lead? Mostly shooting indoors

If you’re shooting indoors, I’d use nothing but coated. As for Brazos, I’ve asked what their status is, no response yet. Missouri and Acme can be had in Hi-Tek coating from Grafs and perhaps others. Missouri shooots ok, but I believe Brazos is better.

Brazos are, apparently, still down for maintenance.

I have shot a lot of Bayou 185 grain Hi Tek coated lead SWC and have been happy with them.  You might also check out Bear Creek Bullets.
