I recently bought myself a new Christmas toy. A new Ruger SRH 480 Ruger. I need to buy some hard cast bullets for reloading. Anybody recommend where to buy a good bullet for general all around use? Somewhere around 400 gr. bullet. I am set up for casting bullets but not for sizing. My casting is for black powder rifles only using a pan lub.

Thanks
George

The Wife bought me a 480 SRH. I bought the mold, sizer die, and TP (all RCBS)from Midsouth. I didn't find much around here for cast bullets in 400 grain. Premade cast bullets of slightly over 300+ seemed very expensive.

I would buy a lee mold push through sizer and some alox lube.

and go to town.

I would but I did not find a sizing die in the size I need. It appears that they don't make one. Can custom order but 6 wks lead time. In the mean time I still needs some bullets.

Cast performance

I would buy the nest size smaller polish it out to the proper size I have done it with a couple of there push through sizers

Cast Performance, Hunter Supply (on Midway's site). Bryan Reece 765-541-8584, Montana Bullet Works, look them up on the web.

Thanks for the suggestions. Does anyone have any recent experience with Montana Bullet Works?

With their 480 or 45 Colt bullets. They have several that I might be wanting to try .

Thanks

Not recently, although I need to some more 200 grain bullets for my .38-40. I'll try to remember to post when I get them and let you know.

I, too, am considering Montana Bullet Works for some hardcast GC for my Ruger .480. I'm planning a cape buffalo hunt in RSA next year. Good to see that the company got purchased and are continuing production.

Beartooth is also on my list.

If you want some plinking bullets here's an option.

Also check out Leadhead Bullets. Not the most glamorous website but his bullets are great and I shot this group with my Ruger Super Blackhawk in .480 with his 420 grain bullet:



This was at 25 yards and was the first session with my new gun. Ignore the flyer as a guy sitting at the bench next to me touched off a 12 gauge at the INDOOR range and caused me to flinch!

John, what load or velocity were you getting when you shot that fine target?
