I've never had issues with any MBC products.....
Bayou bullets powder coated

A lot, in not most, of the Cowboy Action guys at OKC Gun Club use Missouri Bullet.
Bayou or Blue bullets for me.
Something to keep in mind: if running typical cowboy loads, "hardcast" isn't needed.
A much softer alloy will work fine, and is sometimes less expensive.
Try the MBC softer lead bullets. They make an alloy specifically intended for cowboy shooting.

I don't do cowboy shooting but I use cast performance bullets and spg lube with Pyrodex in my 32-20 cal 1889 marlin for hog shooting and they shoot well. bought some Missouri bullets for my 44 mag that intend to use for light loads but haven't made up any yet. loaded some acme coated bullets for my 38 special and they shoot as good as i can hold. these are not plated bullets but just have a coating to help reduce fouling. not sure if they would be legal for cowboy action or not
I'm not doing any cowboy action matches yet. I'm just pretending to be a cowboy while I work at the land. Occasionally I'll open carry it.
I don't know if I need a "hard cast" bullet. I've only used IMR Trailboss for my loads if that matters.

I use titegroup and IMR Red (when it shows up) and AA #2 and #5.
You’re prolly good as long as you’re not dressing up like rip
I've got a cowboy hat and boots, but I probably look more like a hillbilly!

Trail Boss is great with softer bullets.
Powder coated is cheaper than plated, can use soft alloys, leaves barrel cleaner, doesn't have the lube smoke and is considered safer because of no lead contact.
