Bang N Clang Bullets  – on Highway 60 in Magdalena, NM (next to ZW – the Blacksmith) is committed to providing a high quality, reasonably priced product to reloaders everywhere.   Bang N Clang Bullets came about by the owners’ interest in Cowboy Action Shooting – As a participant, it became apparent that shooters needed soft lead bullets which are not readily available for reloading.  Buying pre-loaded ammunition is too expensive for shooters.  Reloading their caliber is a must.  As a result, casting proper lead bullets for CAS at an affordable price became apparent.  Bang N Clang Bullets are available in the most popular caliber sizes for cowboy shooters.  Contact us atinfo@bangnclangbullets.com or call us at 1-575-854-3664.
