What would you suggest as a source then? Trying to avoid casting my own if I am honest. for the amount I will likely shoot it!dromia wrote:There is just the usual suspects, Shellhouse, GM. Don't know if Allwood is still doing bullets, might be worth checking. However the reality is that you need to be very lucky to get a bought cast bullet to work especially in rifles, they are all made to the same speccy which means that bullet fit is unlikely to be good and they are all universally far too hard, both recipes for instant leading and very poor accuracy. If you do get lucky with your rifle in finding a bought cast bullet that works then I would also put a lottery ticket on as your luck is obviously in and you will have more chance of winning the lottery than getting a suitable commercial cast bullet.
