.364" cast bullets

Having a difficult time finding a hard cast bullet supplier offering .364" Makarov bullets. I do not want to use Berry's. Anyone know of a supplier?

I use his 30 for 30 carbine and 44 and 45 handgun bullets. He makes bullets in two hardness levels and his hardest will go out to 2000 fps with no leading.
His bullets are very well made with very few imperfections. I purchased 5000 of his 240 GR 44 bullets and as an experiment weighed 20 for average weight out of two different boxes of 500. They were all about 1 ½ gr under weight but the 20 only varied about 0.3 GR. The lube ring was completely filled with no gaps and although I don’t know what he is using it has been clean to use. I push my 44’s to about 850 FPS and have no leading problems and I use the softer mix and have no leading problem.
I know that this doesn’t help much with the gun that you’re reloading for but I just haven’t loaded much of the 30.
There phone number is on the web site and you will get in touch with the owner. He has been very honest and you can tell he knows a lot about metallurgy.
He also helped me get a large number of round ball for cap and ball revolver from another manufacture.
I don’t know if he is reloading for your cartridge but he also does special orders.

These guys say they are out of lead. They were the only guys I knew of that made cast bullets for Maks. Here are some you can try, they say they make them:

+1 for Penn bullets. I needed some custom-sized, .359" bullets for an over sized .380 Auto barrel. Penn was very quick to help me out.

Meister makes fine cast bullets I've had very good results with their .358, .430" dia. and recently acquired 1000 of their 93gr .365" extra hardcast so far so good with Bullseye

I thought Penn discontinued 9x18 Mak ?
