Cast bullets for 550 Magnum
Is anyone making cast bullets for the 550 Magnum?

Wayne Doudna had molds for the 550. He cast a 615 and a 715 grain bullet. Where ever that business went, so went the molds.


"Experience" is the only class you take where the exam comes before the lesson.

Mountain Molds can wipe you one up, no problems.

The molds Wayne used belonged to Neal and I. I am not pleased. Load data is on ammo guide and pressure tested. Nef made the molds. I think I have a single cavity at home

Thanks,

I'm looking for a retailer I guess. I don't cast, and neither does my customer who we are building the rifle for. We're looking for someone who casts and sells them.

Try the guys at the Cast Boolits forum.
Some of those guys have hundreds of molds and just look for an excuse to buy more and cast for them.

Cheers, John

Thanks John,

I'll venture over there and see what the lead-heads have to offer.

Bitteroot I feel youre pain.

I'm getting the details worked out for a mountain mold set for my 500 jeff.
Being as the case neck is only .300" I'm not real happy with the lyman or the lee slugs even tho they shoot great in my ruger.
Great bunch of guys at the cast boolit site, and you can learn much.

I have been in touch with Mike Rintoul about a gas checked 700gr cast.

I will put a call in to him and see where he is on it.

I talked to Mike again and everything has been taken care of except the gas checks. I hae contacted Mr. Blackman and he is going to look into it.
