JLK Bullets

[mike Bullard]

I have been trying to get a hold of someone at JLK Bullets. Phone recording said number had been disconnected and also seems email address is no longer valid.
Can anyone shed any light on the situation it would be much appreciated.

Thank You

The owner “Swampy” unfortunately passed away a couple months ago.

I talked to him and ordered some 105's a couple weeks before I heard the news. Heck of a nice guy.

Im Sorry, I did not know of Swampy's passing. I will surely miss him and his wonderful bullets.
hopefully someone will purchase his equipment.

I didn't take his post in a bad way. If he had luck with his bullets, it would be nice to know who may be making them now.
I still have some of Jimmy Knox's bullets from the old days and they shoot very well. We shoot with Jimmy in Arkansas and admire his very very nice 32Ford street rod.

Ken, if you need some 180's I can help... call me or let Jade know. I may even have a lot of 6.5 140's

Thanks! I was just wondering if anyone had info as to the disposition of the company. If would be a shame for such a highly thought of brand to fade out.

I'm going to try the 140 Berger VLDs this year on deer in a 6.5x47. (The JLKs are on order) They both use the same J4 jacket and are both VLD's. From what I've been told, the JLKs perform the same. Now I've probably been spending too much time on the internet, but I've been hearing stories of the Bergers failing to expand much. I take this with a grain of salt, because unless you retrieve your deer, you really don't know how the bullet performed. Sometimes you just have to find out for yourself.

You may as well find some other bullet for sure.

From reading, mostly here, buying the equipment does not guarantee product quality as there is quite a learning curve requiring great attention to detail.
Similar to one of us buying a turn key NASCAR race car and team with the intention of driving.
