I'm looking for a source for a few hundred pure lead .401" 170 grain bullets. I haven't had much luck finding anything online. Anyone know of a source?

Do you have the mold? If not, what type/style of mold are you looking for. Then all you need is some pure lead ingots and you will be able to cast them.

Obviously. I don't want to cast them; I want to buy them.

Or put a WTB in the buy sell section. One of the folks here on CASTBOOLITS might can cast some for you...

Easy enough to swage but a shape would have to be known; TC or ogive or? I'm sure someone here with the proper dies could help; try the swaging section...

Terry, my curiosity has been whetted. What do you plan to shoot them from?

Why must it be pure? Are you looking to shoot conicals in a muzzleloader?

If you could use 20:1, Buffalo Arms has them in stock.
