    Hi rambo, I am getting too many bullet orders even with out TM so i stopped listing until I get ahead and can build up some stock,
    I have one 45/70 mould it casts a 390 grain hollow base or a 415 grain plain base price is $60.00 plus freight per 100 the composition
    is Lead Tin I stopped using wheel weights the supply is to irregular and they are a pain in the ass to sort and clean,
    Cheers
    Robert.

    as long as your not in a hurry I have a couple of big ones to do easily fit in a few 45/70's

    Got my bullets last week and loaded them up Friday night all 100 off them
    60gn of 1.5f Swiss behind them ready to go for the big shoot the 6th
    Very good quality bullets as always and very reasonable cost

    Just check out these beautiful rounds
    If the sight of 100 if them doesn’t make your sholder cringe I don’t know what will

    well of 60 grns of your swiss is like 60grns of my home roll...your shoulder wot hardly even notice a thing. they are tame compared to 45grns of 2208. look better and smell better,plurry messy to clean up....but LOTS of fun to shoot and watch big smoke cloud.

    Yeah it’s not that bad but in comps we shoot anywhere between 50 and 80 rounds in a day
    Trust me after arround 40 you start to feel it lol

    What about that new lead melting pot you got??, you have got to break it in some time. I haven`t used my" new" one yet. Had a range shoot with the Sharps using 38.5gr 3031 nitro and PP 420gr slugs last week, very nice to shoot, then got rid of some cases loaded with 488gr bullets and 40grs 3031, used my shoulder pad, big difference at the butt end , about 1300fps . So will have to have a casting session when I get a chance to get my supply up and have machined out a bit from my 200gr R E A L .45 bullet mould to get it a bit heaver, but wont know till I cast some, hopefully about 250grs.
