    Great Plains bullet substitute

    Looking for a similar substitute for the Hornady Great Plains bullet in .54 caliber, (425 grains) as I understand its has been discontinued in this caliber.
    Any suggestions appreciated, thanks.

    I use the Lyman 548657 shoots as well or better than the Hornady did for me and kills great.

    If you cast you can check out Accurate Molds. If you don’t find what you’re looking for he can make it. I’ve made several cap n ball bullets using him.
