Where can I BUY cast *rifle* bullets?

Unlicensed Dremel · May 7, 2014, 10:25 AM

I want some Lyman type bullets in 6.5mm for shooting subsonic loads (.260). I can buy the equipment to cast my own all day long, which I'm not going to do, but does no one sell just the finished bullet product themselves? I can find tons of cast handgun bullets, but no rifle.

I want to buy a stash of something like the Lyman #266673 (150 gr 6.5mm).

Thanks.

P.S. I also want to find some 220 or 230 grain cast bullets in .357, for shooting subsonic loads in a .357 max with a 12 twist - the one place I found that shows 230 wadcutters for sell is out of stock and has been for a long time.

Sweet. Thanks. Although too bad they don't have a 150 or 160....

What about uber-heavy .357 bullets for .357 max?

180gr?

I like Beartooth Bullets. I cast my own but if I want to try a new-to-me bullet I'll buy them from Beartooth as I can get other diameters per caliber than "standard". http://beartoothbullets.com/

I alway enjoy doing biz with this guy, but I have not for a couple years, and is seems the whole shooting industry is back ordered.

Ooooh, lookie. Got an email that these are finally in stock!

http://www.badmanbullets.com/OnlineS...ng-Pin-Qty-500

180 and 195 grain ain't 220 or 230 grain - believe me; I'd tried google... this was the only one I'd found, and it was out of stock - until today.

Now I just need some 150 6.5mms... Actually take that back - I'm going to postpone the 6.5mm subsonic project until I finish the subsonic 230 gr .357 max project, since those came into stock all of a sudden (unexpectedly - I'd already waited many months). In fact, I'm just gonna sell the .260 rifle to raise funds for the T/C contender to shoot these. Need an 8" .357 max barrel, 1 in 12" twist, threaded, a frame, buttstock, and an SBR form 1 approval. Oh, and one of those oil can suppressor adaptors, and a silencer form 4 approval. That will keep me busy awhile.

But Clark - thanks - holy moses, a 175 grainer in 6.5 -wow, nice (though out of stock).

I used to buy a lot of bullets from http://www.moyerscastbullets.com/pricelist.html
Always has good luck with them and they're easy to get along with. Don't know what his back log is now, since I did start casting my own.
