    Need a Source for Pure Lead Bullets

    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.

    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...
