Friends and Fellow Shooters.
A couple weeks back I was contacted by a friend who owns a cast bullet business with an offer to sell, as he is getting older and needs to eliminate the heavy lifting associated with the supplies and the product. We have come to terms on a price, which is a just price for the operation in it's entirety.
This is seemingly a dream come true, pending finances.
In an effort to make this transition a bit easier, and far better financially, I mulled over trying to raise more money by work, second job, selling a bunch of stuff ( not that I have much to start with, probably more than I think ), donations, etc. I finally settled on this. To appeal to those who were casters, as I do have new, custom molds, made by LEE that I started with a few years back. I've not tried to be a self-promoter, but only to offer them when the conversation went in that direction and with the blessing of the host of the webpage.
Our gracious host here at Singleactions, Lee Martin, has given me the nod to post them here with the hopes it will aid in funding the new business venture.
These designs were my brainchild, trying to hit the niches that were overlooked by mold and bullet makers. The profile and nose geometry were based on the years of data I have while hosting John Linebaugh's seminar here in Carthage IL.
The .312-120; .401-230 and .412-270 all have the same nose geometry
The .360-180 and the .401-200 have the same nose geometry.
The .513-300 is an Ogival Wadcutter, designed with the intention of making your .510 caliber handguns fun to shoot for everything from walnuts and cowpies to moderate game.
Molds are $100.00 each and I will pay for the Shipping and Insurance.
I have the following inventory. Cut in LEE 6 cavity production molds.
10 each .312-120 FNGC ( .290 nose to crimp .30 cal gas checks)
16 each .360-180 BRLMNGC ( bore riding long medium nose gas check. takes 35 cal checks ) (.445 nose to crimp )
16 each .401-200 LMNGC (.410 nose to crimp takes Gator 41BSS but will work with .416 checks too)
16 each .401-230 FNGC (.380 nose to crimp takes Gator 41BSS but will work with .416 checks too)
15 each .412-270 LFNGC (.410 nose to crimp takes 416 checks)
11 each .513-300 OWC (.250 nose to crimp )
The .312 fits in the 32 H&R in a Bearcat conversion, 327 Federal and 32-20. I've even use it in the 7.62x39
The .360 had multiple purposes. One; to use 38 spl brass and 357 data in large frame revolvers. Two; for use in Reeders 356 GNR as a cast substitute for the Hornady 180 SSP, Three; by accident I found in the heavy frame revolver you could take the 357 magnum about halfway to the 357 Maximum in performance.
The .401's were designed with the 38 WCF in mind. Years ago I was gifted with one, which is a long story for another time. What it needed was a good hunting bullet. This two designs were my initial foray. Both have worked well for me and some others. I have used the 200 in the 10mm Auto as the bullet has a good parallel portion ahead of the crimp groove for taper crimping. The 230's do as well, yet I've not had the chance to use them in the 10mm. I do have a friend in California who will be running some in the Smith 610, which should make a grand combination.
Shanks on these were designed to be snung and will need the gas check seater when using the Gator 41BSS as the check is very straight sided. Once applied, you'll need pliers or vice-grips to get them off. They will stay with the bullet throughout its flight and penetration. If you use the 416 check, I crimp them on in the .410 die, then they can go to the .401 if the die has the proper lead-in angle to the lubersizer die. If not you can stage them through a .406 which can make things easer. I've used both the .41BSS and the .416's with good results.
The .412 is my take on a balance weight "heavy" bullet for the 41 mag. I did shoot it in a Reeder 410 GNR I had and became my go-to bullet for it when it was here.
The .513 is for the 500 Linebaugh, 510 GNR and 50 Bowen Special. As I stated, was designed to make them fun. The temptation is to cast them pure and have a 3" Bowen Redhawk made for concealed carry, or shoot the center fire class in NRA bullseye target. Just to see peoples reaction.
If anyone is interested, post here, as they will be first come, first served, until they are gone.
Thank you all and thank you Lee
