300+ gr 44mag

I've been seriously considering getting into casting my own for a 45 colt I have on order. I'm thinking an MP Mould that drops cast hollow points in the 255-275 grain range. Then powder coat them. This would be an excellent set up from deer to elk out of the 45 colt.

Just have to find a supply of lead, which is getting harder to source.

Andre, I’ve been using powder coat with the few cast bullets I do use, I planted on getting either coated or GC bullets. I am a newb when it comes to cast thanks for the info!

The elk in my avatar was taken with a 310 grain LEE GC bullet. I shot her 3 times, two went through the heart. One shattered the off side shoulder. Two of the bullets passed through.

The load was a stout dose of H110 (I don’t remember off hand). I’ve shot full-length through decent dived hogs with the same combo.

Would you be interested in casting me some? I’d be more than willing to pay you for them.

I can, but I'd recommend you to buying something like the Missouri Bullet company's 300 grain "Hammer" It can be had with HiTek coating, it's a plain base without gascheck, which should be all you need if you are going subsonic, and you can order more as needed from their website. The big Lyman bullet that I cast is a bore riding design that might possibly give trouble chambering if it's powder coated. And you want powder coated if you are going to shoot through a suppressor...

That's a good weight range for the .45 Colt. For a heavier slug, I cast the 330 grain hollowpoint Gould bullet by Lyman. It's made for .45/70, but will size down to .452 nicely. And since it isn't a bore riding design, it works well powder coated.

Don't you need to swage your own cast bullets? Just asking cause I don't know.

Coated or gas checked would be the only way I would go. An exposed lead base creates a build up on my pistol comps so I can only imagine what the build up would look like on a suppressor baffle.

Missouri Bullet Company has a nice 300gn WFN coated bullet. I bought a few to try and and they were very accurate out of my revolvers.

i've tried those , they may be pistol accurate , but not rifle accurate .. I messed with coated and gas check lead , none compared to the xtp's
