Anybody know a source or have some to sell? Looking for 420'ish grain WFN powder coated. Gas checked wouldn't hurt. Since the brass fairy gave me some 45-70 brass I want to ring some steel.

Ignorance isn't bliss, time to slug the bore and re-ask. Never loaded 45-70 before.

Ignorance isn't bliss, time to slug the bore and re-ask. Never loaded 45-70 before. I wondered if you got an old 45 magnum wildcat that squeezed the 45-70 down to .452. You're looking for .458 bullets. I've had an easier time with accuracy using jacketed bullets, like Hornady or Sierra. If it's an antique, slugging might be a good idea. If a modern rifle I'd just try .458 jacketed and see how it shoots.

It's not an antique, I'm just new to it. It's one of those limited stainless blah blah guns Marlin made ten or so years ago. So I'm looking for 420'ish PC WFN gas checked. It's no longer stock, I'll try to post a picture later.

Missouri Bullets has 405 and 410 gr. PC bullets in .459" caliber. I haven't used these, but other Missouri Bullets have been outstanding.

My first thought, Missouri too, but their offering has a good flat, but short of being a WFN.

Montana Bullet Works has a 420gr GC LFN. Not shown PC'd, I do not know if they offer powder coating.

I’ve got some .460 350’s, 420ish, 405’s, Beartooth for the first two, I think they called them sledgehammers and sledgehammer jrs, and nonPC gaschecked, the last is a coated 405, but pre PC so unsure of the coating they have been pushed to 2200-2300 with no leading issues. Also have a lot of Jacketed 300’s from Midway, Remingtons I think.
