Welcome:
You have discovered the site where you can buy the finest, most accurate, world-class precision 6mm (.243") custom bench rest, long range & varmint bullets on the market! I build bullets only. This is not loaded ammunition! Please note that I directly ship my products ONLY to USA addresses. If you do not have a USA mailing address, please see my FAQ tab or contact me for export information. Call me at 702-331-1337 (I'm in Pacific Standard Time Zone) or use my Contact page to email me. If you have problems using that just email me at bughole@precisionballisticsllc.com with your regular email. These are the bullets you want when 0.001" makes the difference between winning or losing the competition! I carefully HAND MAKE each bullet one at a time in my shop at 360 E. Paradise Hills Dr., Henderson, NV, 89002 USA. Please NOTE: I get 20+ scam calls a day and have my phone going through an answering machine which picks up after two rings. I'm always happy to talk with my customers and if you want to talk leave a message and I'll return you call. I know the inside and outside of every bullet PERSONALLY...no robotics nor conveyor belts here! My bullets go through a thorough quality control process. My bullets are:
- Hand-inspected
- Passed through Detsch carbide dies
- Ultrasonically cleaned
- Measured with Mitutoyo digital micrometer accurate to 0.00005"
- Measured with Brown/Sharpe digital caliper accurate to 0.0005"
- Weighed with electronic scales to 0.01gr
My attention to detail is a big reason behind the extreme quality of my world-class bullets. Of course, using Detsch carbide dies that are dead nuts perfect doesn't hurt either! It's hard to see with your eyes but I have a picture above showing the two profiles. The higher the ogive number the more sleek and slender the bullet. My 6 sizes of 6mm low drag bullets I make are 90gr, 95gr, 100gr, 103gr, 105gr, and 108gr, and they use a tangent 15 ogive that is then closed tightly with a John Hoover tipping die built specifically for my bullets. I am offering my 6.5mm bullets in 4 sizes: 130gr, 136gr, 139gr and 142gr. I am currently out of J4s in 6.5mm so cannot build these right now. They have a 15 tangent ogive which is closed with a Hoover tipping die, specifically built for my bullets. The boat tail is 0.200" by 10 degrees. I can use a flat base if requested. These things are what sets Precision Ballistics LLC apart from all the rest! Usually there is only + .10gr variation in a box of any of my bullets. My cores, which are prepared in advance in multiple thousands for each size bullet, are all squirted to a hundredth of a grain, based on the average weights of the jackets I have at the time. Having my cores formed ahead is the ONLY way I can provide a reasonable turn around time when you order. I make sure that I use the proper size punch to seat the bullets so there is no "bleed by" of lead up the inside of the jacket. The tolerance I use is less than 1/16 of a thousandth of an inch (0.00005")! Most bullet makers work with 1-3 diameter sizes of seating punches and a tolerance of 0.001-002". Because there is always variation in the internal diameter of jackets, I use 18 different diameter seating punches, in 0.00005" increments, to assure a proper fit! That improves the center of gravity and makes a cleaner spiral flight which helps prevent "fliers". My other punches are for adding flat bases, short boat tail bases, long boat tail bases and squirting cores.

Single radius 8 or dual radius 6/9 ogives.

I like to shoot my 6mmBR at 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600 yards. I've joined the Desert Sportsman's Club and the Boulder City range near my new place, and will be shooting at these two ranges to test my bullets. At 100 yards I shoot at a sheet of printer paper with 20 yellow 5/8" targets per page, which I make on my computer (example of one such target above). In case you're wondering why I didn't hit the center of the target in the picture, I adjust my windage and elevation just a little off of the 1/8" black center dot to allow me to maintain my point of aim (POA). In this case I want my point of aim and point of impact to be just a little bit different. Once you shoot away your POA it is harder to have a precise POI. Here is one where I put five bullets through the same hole, which measured 0.292" at the widest. Subtract 0.243" for the diameter of the bullets shot, and you get a 0.049" group. You may well be able to beat this one. Try my bullets and see what you can do with them!
Note the even, smooth tips.

Another aspect that particularly effects all of my bullets is that when you inspect most other bullets with a similar profile, the tip has a jagged tooth appearance. Not mine! Dave has the incredible good sense to actually place the center line of his dies in the CENTER of them, which allows the copper to draw up evenly, leaving a square tip. That means the thickness of the copper jacket is consistent and the bullet is concentric. On my low drag bullets I put them through an extra die to close the meplat extremely close together, which no other bullet maker does for you, so my bullets are ready to shoot right after you sort them. Hunters often ask me to make the meplats .30"-.35" to open up better in game. I'm happy to make the tips any way you want them! Closing the tips does not effect accuracy, only the BC. When you do your own measurements, and find how consistent my bullets actually are, you may even stop sorting!

Just in case anyone wonders if putting my low drag bullets through my Tipping Die to close up the meplats, throws off their concentricity, it doesn't! Dave Detsch sent me his father's bullet spinner to check them so I checked my low drag bullets before and after I tipped them. Both were dead nuts perfect! The needle never moved! I couldn't resist, so I checked bullets made in all of Dave's dies. The needle didn't move on ANY of them! ALL come out dead nuts perfect! PERIOD!
Same three bullets in above pictures showing 15 tangent, 6 tangent/9 secant, and 8 tangent ogives, as well as 0.175"x10 degree and 0.062"x14 degree and flat bases. These are 105gr 15 ogive, 85gr 6/9 ogive, and 85grFB 8 ogive. Meplats are 0.005", 0.040" and 0.040".

Here's old "Bughole" in front of my bullet display in Wright City, MO at the NBRSA Nationals and the WBC-13, September, 2015.
Here are two of my friends and customers, Egan O'Brien and Werner Zawadzki, who shoot my bullets. They were among other of my customers, such as Roger Gower and others, at the 2018 Original Pennsylvania 1000 yard World Open match.

VERY nice way to start the new year!
Are the weights on my shop pull chains over the top?
Here's "mini me" currently at 195 pounds, vs that guy to the left who weighed 375 pounds. It took 22 months, gastric sleeve surgery and a heck of a lot of work, but I currently wear size L or XL, rather than size 5XL. In case anyone's wondering, I CAN still build 6mm bullets just fine!
I'm back from vacation and am again happy to take all orders!
I have plenty of 6mm J4s and cores to build 62gr,
64gr, 65gr, 66gr, 68gr, 71gr, 72gr, 73gr, 74gr, 75gr, 76gr, 79gr, 80gr,
85, 86gr, 88gr, 90gr, 95gr, 100gr, 103gr, 104gr, 105gr 106gr, 108gr, 110gr, 113gr, 115gr and 117gr 6mm bullets. I'm now again able to build 6.5mm in 130gr, 136gr, 139gr, 140gr, and 142gr also. Please call me at 702-331-1337 or email me at Bughole@PrecisionBallisticsLLC.com to place orders.
2 FREE 4XL SHIRTS! As a lot of you know, I was a fat man all my life and in 2020 had Gastric Sleeve surgery which helped me lose 175 pounds, which I've kept off. I believed I had donated all of my 5XL, 4XL, 3XL and 2XL clothes and now wear either size XL or L depending on the manufacturer. My wife just discovered two of my used 4XL Precision Ballistics T-shirts which I have worn at matches all over the country but are clean, in good condition. Please scroll down to see how to get these for FREE!
I will gladly send at my cost to the first one of my repeat customers, who can wear size 4XL. I believe 4XL fit me best when I was in the ball park of 350ish. Sorry there are only TWO SHIRTS, but hey, free is free! You can see in the attached pictures they used to fit the more portly version of myself, but not so much anymore. All I'll need is your name and mailing address and they are yours! 😎
