Looking to buy or trade for 100 boolits cast from a Lyman/Ideal 439186 mold. The should cast at .439 and weight around 370 grains. Prefer as cast, unsized and unlubed.

I can buy them outright or I have a number of different caliber jacketed and cast bullets I can trade. Please let me know what you have and what you need.

Would also be interested in one of those Lee Push Thru sizers in .439 that TOW sells.

AND, still interested in hearing about sported/converted Rolling Block Rifles that you may have for sale. See my other listing 444
etc.

Thanks.

I have that mold, but I don't have any cast right now. If you can hold off for a while, I'll cast some up for you. Can't guarantee when. Don't remember what they dropped at.

That's generous thank you. Let me know what you would like in trade or how much $$ you need for them.

Hi. Are you shooting 439 bullets in a 43 Sanish RB??

Great question. My 439186 in 20/1 alloy come out as cast at .443”. My 43 Spanish RB has a groove diameter of .443”. I shoot them with no sizing with fine accuracy and no leading. If shot at .439” diameter they lead like crazy.

I've got that mold, no idea how many I have cast.

I shoot them in my rolling block as cast with 2 coats of BLL. Shoots as well as the 87 pound trigger pull will allow.

I'll have to check to see what I have sitting on the shelf.

For trade stuff,

I load the following cartridges:
.204 Ruger 22 Hornet 221 Fireball
.220 Swift 22-250
.223 .243
6.5x54 6.5x55
6.5 Carcano 6.5x53R 7x57 Mauser
275 Rigby 280 Ross 30 carbine 30-06
30 Remington 30-30 30-40 Krag
300 H&H 375 H&H
.303 British 7.62x39
7.62x54r 32 win spec 8x60s
8x57 Mauser 8x50r 8x56r
318 Westley Richards
350 Rigby Magnum 38-55 .375 Flanged 2 1/2" Nitro Express
9.3x74R 400/350 Nitro Express 400/360 Purdey 416 Rigby

380/200 9mm Makarov

Could use brass for most of the above. Got lots of the common stuff 06, 30-30, 45 acp, 38 special kind of stuff.

OK, mine measured at .440. I was looking for unsized/unlubed boolits from this mold so I can PC them up a couple of thou. Wanted to try some before I went searching for a mold and it makes not sense to pay shipping on less than 50 or 100 or so.

Anyway, that's my thought process......probably flawed.

It only took 4 days but I remembered to look this evening.

I have 72 cast and unlubed, unknown alloy, probably range lead plus some pewter to help fill out. They cast .438-439.

Make me an offer I can't refuse.
