Looking for some of the 60gr Hornady flat point .257 bullets for a new project?
Anybody have any to sell?

The last box I bought was off of GB, fair price all things considered. I think it was a box of 500, might check there.

I just looked , pickings are slim. I do have some old 60gr. Speer spire points, maybe 40, and I can send you 50 Horn FP’s..........if you’re interested.

I bought 4 boxes for my Marlin 25-20 from Midsouth for $25/box just before the SHF. I don't see Hornady tooling up to make more anytime soon, so you'll probably have to pay extortion prices in the meantime...

I just messaged 2 dogs about his Jackrabbit project, because I’m curious about PC’d cast stuff.......sorry about the hi jack.

PCd cast does fine in my 25 Flea
Gt bullets sells a good hp cast .25 but I dont know how hard you can run them. Inthink you can order unlubed/unsized and shake-n-bake yourself.

Find the Lyman mold #257420 or one similar. When my kids were growing up many years ago I had a model 43 Winchester 25/20 & that's the bullet I cast for it, it's a gas check at about 65 grs depending on alloy & it was a holy terror on ground squirrels, rock chucks, badgers, one unlucky muskrat & a whole lot of other vermin.
My 3 youngest boys got a lot of action out of that old gun, one of them even got 2 deer with that bullet. Don't want to hi jack but anyone that has a model 43 Win. probably has a head space problem if they've shot it much, I can tell you how to correct it quite easily if you want to know.

If you can't find a Lyman, Arsenal Molds makes an excellent copy of the 257420, and their 60gr 257283 is also a great choice.

I had Veral make me a mold for a copy of the bullet that Ben Forkin/Hamilton designed for the cartridge.
Ben sent some bullets and I sent one to Veral for this.
I guess I forgot to mention it's a .25 Flea...

I'd stocked up on the 60 grn Hornady and 75 grn Speer 25-20 bullets when we saw the shortage coming. Sadly this stuff is the last to be put back in production.
I never saw 25-20 Brass put back in production after the last shortage.
