I cast my 30-30 and 44 Rem mag bullets. Use them for silhouette competition. I've got an enthusiastic shooter with a Marlin 1894 in 41 Mag. We have spent the last 30 days trying to get projectiles. I am coming to the conclusion we are SOL and the next match is June 2nd. At this point, I don't see he can use the gun. He is paying $80/50 for factory loads....blech!
LaserCast, Miestercast, Montana, Ranier, Midway, Cabellas, Brownells, local gun shops....zippo. Back order on 41s is likely months out.
I am almost ready to have him buy mould and Saeco sizing die but that is silly for a new shooter. There must be a better way. We're looking for a 410610 type mould. Yup, understand GC are not available. Hate to buy a GC mould when you know a GC will never be put on. I shoot 429215 w/o GC but the mould was short money used.
I think he's going to drive to M&P bullets in VT as we are in NH and see what he can scare up. I just thought I would toss this out to the casting community to see if anyone has any bright ideas. I am at the point where I wonder if I am not thinking clearly.
