I am getting into casting but not at the to be ready to cast. I am also torn between 45-45-10 Tumble or powder coat.
So I need some raw 9 or 380 bullets, any style or any weight to test my Lube method. Does anyone know where I can get them?
Thank you.

45/45/10 is smoky. If that’s an issue, go traditional lube or powder coat

I'm getting ready to cast some .355 90 gr . I should have them in the next week. How many do you want?

I tried 45/45/10 in 9mm and .380. I couldnt get it to work in 9mm. It worked ok in .380. I even went with straight LLA to no avail. I switch over to PC and never looked back. That being said 45/45/10 worked well in other cal. like 38 sp 45acp 45colt. Just not in 9mm. If you pay for shipping I could send you some 9mm and .380. to try.

I had good success with 380 and using straight LLA or BLL tumble lube. 9mm gave me enough issues that I just powder coat them and call it done. These are standard RN with lube groove designs.

I have some 9mm in the 120-125 gr range. Truncated cone, SWC and round nose. All are standard lube groove designs. All not sized or lubed cast with COWW + 2% pewter/tin.
