WANTED Buffalo Bullet Co. Ball-et

[Cliffdweller]

Good day, I am looking to see if anyone has any of these they would like to sell? (.32 & .45). I know they are no longer making them (as far as I know) but I would just like to try them, Thanks!

Good luck finding those will be scarce as hens teeth. Before reducing their production to just .50 & .54 calibers the remaining .32, .36, .45 were cut as they just weren't popular. In the end only the .50 remained and stayed as the lone ball-et, mostly to satisfy Colorado regs pertaining to muzzle loader projectiles not being more than twice as long as their diameter. Now with buffalo bullet company being out of business, your chances of finding NOS or even an opened box with a few left over are slim but I wish you luck and look forward to reading your range report.

Wish you luck finding any for sale. I’m hanging to the few boxes of 45 and 50 caliber ones I have just because. Don’t have to feed them anything…… One observation is the lube has dried and crumbled away, at least on the ones I have. Similar to what you find when you come across any Hornaday Great Plains Hunter bullets or similar. Might be great bullets, but the factory lube just doesn’t stand up to the test of time.

Sorry all I got is a box of 50s.

Haha I know that’s what I figured too. Taking a road trip today so maybe I’ll find a half empty box on some dusty shelf at some little out of the way gun shop (I’m hitting up 2 I’ve never been to before) on my way down to the Springfield armory (first time going) Gonna be a good day!

I have a half box of 50’s but that’s it.

Those bullets with the dried out lube can be put in a jar of mineral spirits for a couple of days, stirred, or shaken, and then poured out. Then they can be re-lubed. The lube will dissolve into the mineral spirits, and the bullet will be ready for dip lubing.
