"I am impressed with the quality of your bullets. Would probably have set more records than I did in the early 1960’s had your bullets been available."

"I have just started to reload my own bullets. I have tried three different manufacturers of 9mm 125 gr. Yours was the last and the only bullet I intend to use. Thanks for making such a fine bullet!!!"

An email from J.W.
Howdy,
I just wanted to take a minute to tell you how pleased I am with your 93 gr. rnfp .38 bullets, and am very pleased with the performance. I use them in both my revolvers and rifle during SASS competition. I have found your employees to be courteous and helpful, and your service is exemplary.
I came to use your product through my friendship with (Rattler John). He is a great ambassador for your company. I have seen him explain the reasons he uses Meister bullets to many a shooter. He knows and understands your company and takes the time to explain your high production standards. I have experimented with your competitor's products and compared the results. I agree with Rattler John that you produce the best bullet on the market for our sport. More than that, your demonstrated adherence to high standards and customer satisfaction are greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to improvements on the 93 grain rnfp .38. I believe this round can be the most effective .38 special load available for cowboy action shooting.
Sincerely,
J.W.
An email from Milwaukee:
…you also have an excellent product as I find my self using a lot of your bullets. We just got a new Sportsman’s Warehouse here in the Milwaukee WI area and that is where I am now buying your product... I just tried your 38cal. 148 HBWC and find it to be superior to the one I was using by Star Bullets which was their Special Match HBWC. Theirs was a little on the soft side but accurate, but I find yours to be even more accurate using the same load of Bullseye powder @ 2.8grs. Keep making the great bullets!!!!!. Sincerely, F.H.
An email from Mr. J.T. Mangus says.....
I have loaded about 1500 rounds of 200 grain SWC's.
Have not found a bad bullet yet! Thanks again for
a great product!! I bought some other bullets from
your competitors and ended up selling them they
were so bad. I also gave your name to a large
distributor in the Midwest.....I can not think
of a better bullet than yours to recommend to them
to sell. Sincerely, J.T. Mangu
An email letter from Mr. Marshall.....
I received your products which I recently ordered
and thank you for your prompt and courteous response. I had the opportunity of testing the bullets in all calibers and compared them to another brand. Yours were great! They far outperformed the other brand. I will continue to be a return customer and inform others of your great product and greater service. I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciated everything and keep up the great service! You are a fine example of the AMERICAN way of doing business!
Sincerely,
P. Marshal

I am happy to report that the 400 grain .40-65
bullets I recently purchased from you performed
EXCEPTIONALLY well!! In fact, they have out performed ALL
other bullets I have tried. Thanks for providing
such a fine product.
Email from Tequila (5 Time Cowboy Action Shooting World Champion):
The bullets and ammo worked great. I was very pleased with the feeding of the new rifle bullets in my Marlin. That was the main reason I wanted to try them out.
From Black Jack McGinnis, SASS #2041
I was recently given a bag of your 160 gr .452 rnfp bullets and decided to try them in cap’n ball pistols for the Frontiersman Category in SASS. I was very happy with the result. They set much easier than other conventional bullets that I have used in the past and the accuracy has improved. I prefer the conventional bullet in the percussion handguns over the typical lead round ball because the lead is harder and gives a more solid “punch” when hitting knockdown targets!
Thanks,
Black Jack McGinnis

From RRMCMICKEN via the internet.........
I purchased 500 of your 225 grain .451 flat point bullets at a local gun show. I loaded 'em up with 7.5 grains of Power Pistol, a load that has given me excellent accuracy and top velocities with several .45 ACP guns. Accuracy in a stock Colt M1911 and a stock Colt Lightweight Commander was equal to the best accuracy obtained with jacketed hollowpoints, 3" groups at 25 yards. I tried them in a friend's super-accurate Kimber Classic and was able to obtain 1.4" groups at 25 yards, beating Hornady's 230 XTP-HP by 1/4". This is by all odds the best accuracy that I've ever obtained with any bevel base bullet design, revolver or auto alike, and equal to the best accuracy that I've ever obtained with carefully assembled match loads in a SIG P220 and a couple of Colt Gold Cups. These loads chronograph at 915 fps (vs. 880 fps for Speer Gold Dot HP). This load is accurate and powerful enough for hunting any game safely with a .45 Colt revolver at standard pressures. All in all, the most outstanding cast bullet I've ever used in a .45 ACP, and Ive been reloading since 1958, outperforming my old accuracy standard, H&G #68 over 5.0 grains of Bullseye, by a significant margin. You can bet that I'll be ordering more Meister bullets in the future! You have an outstanding product. I have previously purchased and loaded cast bullets from National, Bull-X, Oregon Trails, CBX, Houston Cartridge Company, Lead Head, Beartooth and a couple of other local outfits (but not before I had personally cast and loaded tens of thousands of bullets in a variety of Lyman and RCBS multi-cavity moulds). I know what a good bullet is supposed to look like. Your bullets are not only good looking and extremely accurate, but there wasn't a bad bullet in the box, and I've paid top dollar for very expensive hand-cast Keith bullets only to find fewer than half the bullets in a box of 1,000 were really shootable. You can be proud of your bullets! Any lead bullet that exceeds the accuracy of name brand jacketed bullets is worth bragging about.

I recently returned from "End of Trail" and I thought you might enjoy knowing that the Precision Rifle Side Match for Lever Actions in rifle caliber was won with Meister bullets!! I used your 405 grain .45-70 bullet in my Browning 1886 and won FIRST place!! Thanks for a great bullet!! I also use your 180 grain .45 Long Colt in my main match rifle and pistols.

"I would just like to say that I’ve used your bullets in different styles and calibers and haven’t found a bad one yet. The lube stays in the grooves during shipping which some brands don’t. It is not often I write to compliment a company on a product, but excellence these days is not always rewarded. I recommend your bullets knowing that I’m giving good advice."
Larry V. sends us a letter via email........
I received my bullet order a few days ago and was really impressed with the courtesy and follow up prior to receiving my order. But when I got the bullets in hand, I was taken aback with the consistency and quality of them. Even the packaging was head and shoulders above some other stuff I had purchased from a competitor previously.
I haven't fired any of them yet, but I'll bet they out perform those other guys too. I especially am looking forward to giving those .45's a workout.
Thanks!!!
THEN, LARRY WRITES US BACK A WHILE LATER......
I'm the guy who fell in love with your products a
few months ago, and I am back for more....I'm
beginning to think that your bullet is all I need
to do whatever I want to do with a .44 Mag. My
Redhawk likes them, Super Blackhawk Hunter likes
'em and my Winchester likes 'em. Thanks, again for
such a fine product!! Larr
Larry, from Texas, emails us.....
I was just looking at the 405 and 500 grain rounds
for the .45-70. I'm going to order some of your
405's and load them for my Sharps rifle. I'm
wondering if you have considered producing a 500 grain
long range pointed bullet for long range competition.
Considering the consistency and accuracy of your bullets,
there may be a viable market among long range
competitive shooters. It's just an idea, but why not a
little market research? You've got some of the
best products on the market - period! The Cowboy
Action thing is growing phenomenally and I think
competitive old style shooting is gaining popularity
too. It certainly is in Texas and I can't wait to
see what New Mexico and Colorado have to offer.
Just some thoughts, but I think people like you
deserve all you can get. I think you can and should
leave Laser Cast, Leadhead and all the rest of them
in the dust. Just my opinion. Thanks! Larr
Mike Cumpston, writer for American Handgunner, and other magazines, says (via email):
A while back, you sent me some of your 205 grain .44 bullets sized .429. My 8 3/8 Smith hits right on when sighted for my 1150 fps 250 grain Keith bullet load. Meister's 205 grain bullets go into the same group as the heavier loads. Today, I shot five one-handed off hand into a 25 yard bullseye and, when I saw what was happening, I stopped shooting immediately....the group was 2 1/4" and I didn't want to mess it up. Thanks for an outstanding product!! I plan to shoot many more of your bullets.

On page 111 of the Nov/Dec 03 American Handgunner, I slipped in a mention of your swaged .38 wadcutters. Hope you build up a supply of this as they really shine when trying for accuracy from .38 Spec in .357 chambers
Mike Daly, Director of Customer Service at Hodgdon Powder Company wrote in a letter:
Since I began using your 125 grain .357 bullets in my wife's reloads, I have been very impressed with the accuracy achieved. As a matter of fact, I am so impressed that I have purchased a pair of .357 caliber pistols for myself.
I have had a continuing problem trying to get one load to shoot in 6 .357 pistols and 3 rifles. When I combined your 125 grain .357 bullet with 3.3 grains of our TITEGROUP, I found a load that will shoot accurately in all of my firearms chambered in either the .38 Special or the .357.
As the Director of Customer Service for Hodgdon Powder, I talk to a large number of shooters in a year. When I encounter a shooter looking for an accurate load for the .38 Special or .357, I recommend your bullet and our powder.
Thanks for a great product!

Recently I purchased one of your "Slug-Your-Barrel" kits.....it worked GREAT!! It worked so well, in fact, that I will be using your kits on all my lead shooting guns!
Thanks for a GREAT product that really works!
Very truly yours

I had the good fortune of acquiring a box of Meister Bullets' 158 grain "Hard Swaged" .38 SWCs at the Phoenix gun show and was so impressed by the accuracy & reduced leading that I retired my own .38 caliber mold in favor of Meister bullets.
Thanks for a great product

This letter came to us from Larry via email over the internet...
I loaded and shot some of your bullets I recently
purchased, I LOVE the .44 FP 300 grain bullets!! I
loaded them with 16.4 grains of 2400 and got LESS than
1/4 groups at 25 yards with my Ruger Redhawk. The
240 grain .44 SWC punched out a hole at 25 yards just
1/2 inch left of dead center from my Ruger Vaquero
4 5/8 inch barrel. That load was 13 grains of Blue
Dot with Remington Brass and a CCI 300 primer, and
there was absolutely NO leading what so ever!! Your
bullets are GREAT!! Keep up the good work!!

"I am a CAS shooter and participate in the BP class but with the hassle of casting and loading 38 Long Colt for my 1851 Navy Colts as well as loading BP shotgun shells, I did not relish the idea of casting and lubing for my .357 Browning. I love your bullets. The packaging protects the lube and I can load them right out of the box. Unlike some other brands which need 50% relubed to use. Thanks for a great product."
