    LOL, time time. Yes I know we should but......

    Any way there are a couple of local guys here that coat cast lead bullets and sell uncoated lubed cast bullets. Some are cheap enough some are not and if you looking for special type forget.

    Thus might be close to what you're looking for?

    I can attest to Leatherhead bullets being nice quality. Decent prices if bought in bulk. Nice folks too.

    ACME (Hi-Tec), Eggleston Munitions (Polycoat) and The Blue Bullets (proprietary coating) have worked out well for me.

    I would help you but I only have a 255 RF mold. Missouri makes a decent bullet it nothing like PC. Rainier's are great if you want plated. I could probably send some of mine if you're interested. I can send a pic but can't post it. Computer issues. PM me if you want.

    Received my sample packs today from SNS.
    They look great
    Tried the fit of the 125gr. 357's in my BH cylinder, a perfect fit.
    Tried the fit of the 200gr. in my 1858 .45 Colt cylinder, a perfect fit.
    Can't wait to load'em up go to the range

    Got mine from Falcon Bullets. 165gr .309 for my 30-30. Grouped at 1.5" shooting with arms on the bench @25 yards with ~5 gr titegroup powder.

    I want to try Badman and Missouri bullets too. Still trying to figure out what mold they used for those 135 gr. I think it was one designed to make 140gr using wheel weights but they used Lyman #2 which brought the weight down a bit.

    You could try CASTING MACHINE, a Vendor on this site, I haven't compared prices and quality so can't help you there.
