Has anyone used Penn bullets in a 45-70. Thinking about trying their 350 gr. Would like to try the Beartooth Pile driver but seems like impossible to get.

I have a friend that was using them in handguns ( some special ones they carried) He stopped using them do availability and other issues.

Try Montana Bullet Works they have a lot to offer and they also have a BHN 15 alloy they use you can also get them with Veral's soft blue lube which is excellent.

I have used them mostly in my 357s pistol and rifle they shot very good. I was using the 125s for cowboy loads in pistol and a marlin cowboy limited with good results also the 180 grains in rifle and was happy with accuracy. I also shoot the 150 308s with good accuracy in a winchester 30-30. sometimes he is out of stock.......Dave

I used Penn Bullets for years in handguns when I was competing. I had tried a number of different bullets but Penn always gave the best accuracy. However I have no experience with their rifle bullets.

I have heard that Penn Bullets are of excellent quality through Bullseye pistol competitors. The storage implies that he is busy supplying his more common bullets to the masses.

Just buy a mold from Tom at Accurate. He has exact copies of the "Piledriver" bullets.
Here is a 405gr 45-70 boolit from his mold he made me.

Yeah. They feed like butter in my Marlin 1895. They are very accurate loaded with IMR 3031
