I have found the quality of his bullets lacking. Most notable are cracks inside his HP’s which means they are not consisitant in weight.
That and he has no concept on bullet design and game killing ability, a curse brought on by high fence hunts.
But then I have also found most custom casters to be lacking in quality.
When your slaving over a pot of molten lead and paying the bills with your product, it is easy to fill and order with bullets that are not up to parr.
The only exception to the quailty concern on custom bullets has been Jerry’s kid, Timmy’s bullets, his seconds are better than others first quality bullets.
I do worry with all the lead fumes, that Jerry’s grandchildren will have two heads, but not a problem with Jerry, he will just design a one seater attack helicopter with one seat and two display visor helments. 😛
Go with the 70 grain Surefires, that HP is not really going to open up at our velocties and is a gimick. Again the exception is that on a finely cast HP, they sometimes have a accuracy advantage, but that ‘sometimes’ is a fleeting dimension pretaining to particular bullets.
Robert is a nice guy who makes funny video’s in a Hillbilly sort of way, but my money is on Jerry.

I ordered 50 hollow points sized .251 and weight 73 gain. I’ll let you know if I have any success with them as a hunting round.
the only way i see these having long range stability is to shoot from a very hot career, with their ridiculously fast twist.
what thinks you, Tof?
Oh yeah! Of course. No other way to talk. I’ve handled multiple calibers from both parties
You simply NEED a well made projectile to get good accuracy! x3 what Doug said.
Is that from experience Toff.??
Go with the SureFire slugs. They R much more consistent in every way.
im pushing 7 ring surefire slugs jerry sent me in the 700+ range getting 80 fpe out of my stock condor
so what do i need to put in my condor for that 100 110 fpe range heavier hammer?????
I have luck with his 70 and 73 and 55. They hit like a ton of bricks and he is a pretty good guy to deal with. Shoot me your email and I cna show you some nice clover leafs at 35 yards at 109 FPE. I would say that you need to push them pretty good for accuracy. He makes some 55 grainers that also group well for me. Every barrel is differnt and I would try his 55 grain if you dont have luck with the heavy ones…….ore better yet mod it up for more power 😀
X2 on what Doug said.
Not to mention that your barrel probably has a bore diameter of .250 and a groove diameter of .255, which means they are undersize.
The only advantage would be they might fly sideways and if the impossible of impossibles happened and you did hit something it would cut a nice big hole. 😆
Jerrys slugs are tried and proven to work, even if does have pieces of bone screwed to his airguns.

Get some of Jerry’s 6 rings. With stock condor you might push them fast enough to work.
Thanks guys. I’ll stay away from those then.
I wouldn’t waste any money on him. I bought what was suppose to be .309″ slugs and they measured .3105″. Was offered a refund or exchange. I said refund and they all showed up resized .3074″ and now are to small. So either he doesn’t measure stuff or it’s done with a $5.00 caliper.
me thinks youd have to move em at a good clip to stabilize such a long bullet
with a hollow point, unless theres something of a “skirt” in back to compensate for such an ass-heavy design.
Stock Condor?
