Missouri bullets is great for lead. I use RMR Bullets for plated and jacketed. Both have great customer service and ship extremely fast.

Here's a Missouri Bullet post to one of their FAQs:
--------------------------------------------
Question:
What if I thought I was ordering cartridges instead of bullets and was surprised to find that the bullets I ordered are bullets and not ammunition?
MBCo Response;
It is possible that you are an idiot who
1.) Doesn't pay very close attention to detail when he orders things and/or
2.) Thinks that the descriptions and photographs of our bullets are actually very cleverly disguised descriptions and photographs of cartridges. If one or both of these is true, it is likely that you shouldn't be handling explosive materiel.
Bottom line is - if you ordered bullets from us and then received the bullets you ordered from us, we're squared up and can't help you with your cartridge problem.

Some may think it is just Plain Straight Talk.
Others will know that the above comment by the company displays a degree of contempt for their customers.

I saw that, but it just made me chuckle. I met the owners when I picked up my order and they seem like nice enough people. They aren't upscale, sophisticated business people though, so they probably don't have a marketing team to make sure they don't offend anyone.
They don't seem to be hurting for business, so I guess things are working for them. They were loading up 3 pallets of product when I was there and the packaging was going full bore.

Don't Do That.
If you don't believe me, or most any reloading manual you care to open, ask Randy A. about .40 S&W and leading issues.
.40S&W operates at (or was designed to operate at) pretty high pressure/velocity ...... jacketed bullets would be required to avoid leading problems above about 1200 f/sec. Pure lead (as opposed to lead alloys containing tin and or antimony) should be kept down around 800-1000 f/sec to avoid leading issues. With really hard alloys, leading is LESSENED, and gas checks can lessen it further, but if you want to shoot the .40 Short, at the velocities it was intended to be shot, use jacketed bullets.
