I’ve tried some of those bullets but for the life of me I couldn’t tell you where they came from. Quality was spotty I’ll say that. Weights and dimensions all over the place. No wonder people think bullets can’t be accurate from revolvers.
I’ve used that bullet, sorting by weigh, lubed with the special sauce and rammed with a flat faced ram it becomes a wide flat point bullet and it’s very accurate.
I’d give Eras Gone a call like @Bunk said. They may give you some leads on finding what what you want.
Which one? I have not tried .44 Kerr, but those almost look like a round ball to begin with. Brent indicates that he likes them a lot. I cast the .44 Johnston & Dow and the .36 Colt Cartridge Works. The J&D come out of the mold with a sharp tip and flatten a lot when loaded. The rammer on my pistols cuts a groove into the lead at the tip, so I prefer to load with a bench tower press and a wider tipped ram.
Just keep a fishing rod and an old tackle box nearby with a couple of lures hanging off of it, wear a vest and a floppy hat.
Do you mean lead vapour/fumes? There isn't/aren’t any.
Having worked in a battery plant around hot lead all the time, and been warned my lead levels were almost high enough to require me to wear a respirator, I think you are mistaken.
It's not the locals finding out what I'm making, more not wanting to spend a lot of time outdoors. There are a lot of "questionable" characters around, and enough shootings that I try not to attract undue attention.
About 15 years ago, I won an auction on GB for a Norinco 1911. About 3 hours later, the transmission imploded on our minivan. Contacted the seller, contacted GB, explained my situation and apologized. Was banned 2 days later.
GunBroker is only useful for me for buying lead bullets
