Default Black Hole bullets....

Max Dunlevy, the proprietor of Black Hole bullets, offered to sell me his impressive set of bullet making equipment some time back. I lack both the money and the time to take on such an endeavor, but was really hoping that somebody rich like Wenzl or Alex Clarke (and most of you others) might take it on.

Max makes some very interesting stuff like the 29 grain ULD 20 caliber and others. I'd love to see somebody dive in and make a go of it...

17VLD?

Ric?

Alex?

Steve Grant???

Cool Hmmm I might know just the GUY.. AND his brother!!!!

I know you are reading this... come on whatcha think??? Or do you already have more bullet making equipment than you need????

Or how about Mike Moberley??? He makes some very nice high quality custom bullets….

Myself I vote that Dan C retires from the RR and makes bullets (for free LOL)!

Good post Dan!! Hope someone can put it to good use… Oh BTW I only have BIG dreams and lots of ambition… no $$$ here….

Max lives about 20 miles from me and I have been over to visit (put to work) a couple times. He sure wanted me to take the business, but like you Dan, just not enough of the money or time available to do it. He is one nice guy. Tried to call him a few weeks ago and got no answer. Hope he is doing OK.

Default Would'nt that be grand!!

I would love to see one of our brethren adopt such an endeavor.
Me thinks I'd love to try bullet making,but I have a lot of things that should come first,a lathe being one of the bigger items.

Red face Max is doing a well as can be expected.

I went down to visit him the first week of Sept.

He is in quite a bit of pain but he's a tough bird. His condition just won't allow him to stand of any length of time to make bullets, which is a shame because that’s how he maintains contact with the shooting community that he dearly loves.

It would be great if someone could pick up the bullet operation because as Dan said Max made some awesome bullets.

If anyone would like to take time visit Max on the phone, his number is 913-341-1720. A word of encouragement from a comrade would be a priceless gift to him right now.

Here is a pic of a 20 Duster loaded with the bullet I mentioned, the 29 grain ULD Diamond tip. Next the the BH bullet is a Sierra 32. It's a racy looking devil, and at 4300 fps is hell on wheels on rockchucks!

Default Check out the nifty containers Max uses

Here is one of the 36gr VLD I "helped" Max make for Stephen. These bullets are gem-like. It would be a shame if someone as dedicated as Max could not continue this operation.

Talking Bob those are the little rockets that

really made the 204 MAXI-TAC sing in two years ago in WY. I think I have a few left, I'd better make them count.

Does the bullet shown in the container have an inverted base or is it just the way it looks in the picture?

Default No you’re correct BCB; I believe most of Max's bullets are rebated…
