    WTB 200 gr .454 boolits

    I am looking for a fifty to hundred or so 200 gr .454 diameter 45 Colt boolits for my Uberti 1860 "Iron Frame" rifle with it's generous dimensioned barrel. I guess some rnfp or fp boolits would work best for the mag tube.

    The closest to .454 that I have is a Lyman .452 SWC maybe a slight bigger. Measuring around different areas on the boolit they range from .451 to .453. I'm not sure these will work for you but that's all I have.

    I have some heavier cast bullets which I acquired for my 454. 304gr if memory serves. Some need lube some may need gas checks
    Let me know if you can use heavier cast bullets

    I'll pass on the heavier bullets, been that route and am trying lighter bullets to see if I can find anything in lead the rifle likes. Thanks for the offer though.
