Local option for lead 45acp 200gr lswc?
« on: April 29, 2010, 12:32:03 PM »
Precision Delta, as slow on delivery as they are, has great prices on 200 grain LSWC. I can wait seeing as how I am still deciding on which 45 game gun to get that has a lead-friendly barrel stock. Anyway, someone mentioned that I should inquire for a local lead caster with prices better than PD's. I don't know if this is realistic to beat 9.4 cents per bullet delivered, but wanted to ask before my $$$ was sent out of state.

Nothing locally, but someone told me about Missouri Bullets. In stock, ships faster than PD and the prices are considerably less.

About $81 delivered for 1000 200gr lswc. Thanks!

Nate Goodfellow was making and selling cast boolits. He had 230rn and 200lswc. I can't find his email addy but you can probably post something on the Parma board to get in touch with him.

I use an H&G type 200lswc in all of my .45's, never had an issue. Load them to 1.255" and crimp @ .469/.470 and you should be good to go. Unless of course you have a short throated Glock. Then you might have to seat with the shoulder of the bullet even with the case. Don't load them with the shoulder even with the case for a 1911.

If you want to try LSWC's before you buy a bunch, let me know. You can shoot some of mine after a match. Be fore warned, if you are an accuracy nerd, my load is addictive.  :evilgrin:
