45cal. conicals are getting hard to find
Is it just me or is this true for everybody? I have a chance to get a 45cal. T/C Hawkins in great condition, but find full bore conicals is darn near impossible to find.

No Excuses has some if you don't mind heavy weights. PR has some 330-360gr fancy ones but they are WAY over priced. Buffalo Bullets are back in business and i know they used to offer a 325gr HP but i never got them to shoot as well as most other conicals.

We have molds we got from a compamy in southern IL and the REAL bullet work quite well I got several others from them while we were there and they offered to custom make if we wanted to pay their price but since this was 20 years a go while the first wife who liked to shoot conicals in a 45 was still alive and she was the one who hunted up the place I have completely lost the name.

when bullshop opens back up for buisness, you might give him a call, $28.00 for 100 conicals is extremely reasonable in this day and age. if you call him. let him know the rifle caliber,twist and bore diameter and i am sure he will fix you up with some accurate conicals.. depending on local shops, especially for conicals can be frustrating..

$28 for 100 cast bullets?? WOW I must be getting old and cheap. Lordy I can remember buying 500 cast bullets-with or without GC's for less than $28.
If I had a little more ambition I should start selling some(ya right).
Heck even if they were 500 grain bullets that would be less than 7# of lead. So over $20 in labor to pour 100 bullets?? That is making some good money. Tom.
