I would like to change to cast bullets for my 45 loads this season, and am looking for a source of 45 cal H&G #68 Hard Cast Lead SWC bullets. I need 1000 to start, but have not found a source locally or otherwise. I would appreciate knowing any sources any readers can point me to.
I think the #68 mold pattern is a single lube groove, and a flat nose right? I do not know if they are from an H&G model # 68 mold, but 200 gr SWC Mastercast bullets in Enon, PA bullets have been very dependable. They are 18 Brinnel hardness. USPS shipping is about $12 for up to 2000 bullets. They are boxed up 500 bullets at a time. They have a web site. Mastercast.net. Good Luck
The first picture is of some that came right out of an original H&G #68 mould.
The others may be from a Lee copy, 6 cavity. They are a bit more "pointy" than the original but shoot about as well.
These come out of my garage and shoot really, really, well.
Just thought I would share.
When I want a certain profile of bullets, I just buy that mould!
Skip, yours look better than the ones on MasterCast! Care to sell any?
Thanks for all the responses to my inquiry. The MasterCast bullets will save me a lot of money; I've been shooting Hornady XTP 200 gr JHP bullets with a hot load. The H&G 68's will be used with a target loading; I hope to get in a lot of range time this year.
