Commercial Source for Classic 45-70/405gr (Lym457193) 0.459" BN 12-15 bullets

I've got a gentleman finally demo'd/hooked on softer-is-good for his Marlin GuideGun.
(Gobsmacked at a never-seen before 100-yd/1½" 5-shot group w/ his own WilliamsFP-sighted rifle)

.... but he doesn't cast.

Do we have commercial sources for the subject bullet where he can buy them?
(If so, I'll also teach him the joys of mirror-bores w/ALOX)

The laser-cast ones are of high quality: https://www.laser-cast.com/#!/45-70-...egory=25376421
, but are fairly hard, though of 0.459" diameter. They shoot well in my Pedersoli Sharps, Winchester 1886, and my buddy's Guide Gun and Browning 1885.

Thanks (for the Bull Shop)!
I'll have him give them a call.

FWIW: it was the LaserCast the almost had him sworn off cast in his new Marlin.
He spent an hour last night de-leading the barrel.

Y'all have seen this before, but it's what convinced him to let me load some/soft-cast for him:


That it did the same thing this afternoon in his own rifle surprised him.

This is where I get mine....great bullets. I also use him for 30-30 and 32 WS.

I would try Buffalo Arms as they have some great products.

I am guessing Montana Bullet Works has something for you. Have always gotten excellent Service and Product from them
