    Big .45 bullet?

    Anyone know where I can buy 500 + grain cast bullets?
    There for a .45-120 Sharps. Thanks for any info.

    Thanks for the link M-Tecs, but I don't see anything near the weight I'm looking for. (500-535 grains)

    Leadhead, being as it's a long straight case have you considered a design like the RCBS 45-500-GC?
    It has a huge long bearing length to cut back the powder volume, lots and lots of lube grooves and a gas check base in case you'd like to add some of those copper bottom fouling scrapers.

    Go to a search site like duck duck or bing, put in “cast bullet makers” you will find lots of cast bullet makers that you can order from. Many offer heavy rifle bullets, lubed, PC’d and HyTec. Something to do waiting for March Madness.
    Never trade luck for skill.
