    Question Searching for 200 grain 9.3 cast projectiles

    As above Im looking for 180-200 grain projectiles to get the second barrel of my cape rifle on the board. Already got some ducks with the 16 gauge hole, and thats prompted me to finally get the other barrel up and running.
    Last year I tried some 285 grainers from shooternz but they keyholed and thats the only weight he casts. When I measured it the twist is 1:25 too slow for that length bullet.
    Researching the original chambering it is 9.15x57R (360 2 1/4 nitro for black powder express), and the standard bullet weight was 190 or 210 grains.
    So does anyone have a mold in that cal and weight range that I could bludge a few bullets off.
    I have found an Ozzie company that makes a suitable mold but am resistant to forking out $300 for something I may only shoot a couple of times.
    Any ideas? (even dumb ones except hacksawing some off shooterz bullets, as Ive already tried that and the results were "inconsistent )
    akaroa1 and csmiffy like this.
