Montana Bullet Works or Beartooth Bullets. Both have a large assortment of bullets and options. Marshall Stanton at Beartooth is very knowledgeable re cast bullets

Use ones made for the 40--65 or 40-70 Sharps; they are .410 diameter; check Buffalo arms for them. I have a Lyman mold and cast my own; 400 (up to 420) grainers. Or just use 41 mag pistol bullets in any weight for plinking.

I've not used cast bullets for my double. What size cast bullet would I need for a .408 caliber 450/400 3 inch?

If your groove is really .408 then you want at least .001 bigger but anything that will chamber will work. Lots of .410s and .411s out there.
