Hi All:

      Where is the a good source of cast bullets? I am looking for 25-20 and 32-40 bullets.

      I see them listed between 15 and 40 cents apiece from various vendors for the same size and weight.  Does the increase in price make a better bullet?

    I bought 500 80 grain .257 bullets for $20.00 per 500 and 500 i70 grain 32-40 bullets for $25.00a couple of years ago.  I do not know if this was a good price or a good bullet.

    How does one determine if a bullet is good or if it is bad other than shooting it?

    Any suggestions as to where I may purchase a good cast bullet?

     Any suggestions as to what a good cast bullet in 32-40 would be?

Also, try Chey Bullets. They shoot well in my 38cal, but don't know if they offer 32cal.  Also, try Sagebrush.

What twist & length barrel do you have? Starting with the correct bullet will go a long ways to getting it to shoot well.

Also try bulletsbybennett.com.  Match quality swaged bullets.  Not cheap but great bullets.

I just ordered some Paul Jones Creedmoor 540 gr bullets from Sage Outfitters. You might check them out.

Hunters Supply.I used their 32/20 115 gr. FP for CLA PC sillhouettes.

Check out Missouri Bullet Company. Good website, good people to deal with and quality bullets. Also offer some bullets with the Hi-Tek coating that does away with lube in the grooves of the bullet. I have tried the 25 cal. bullet (not the hi-tek) in my 25-20 Marlin lever action with good results. A friend has tried the 25 cal. bullet in a 250 Savage with good results.

i second the motion for casting your own.  it's too easy, really.  doesn't require anything special other than a small furnace, ladle, lead, gloves, a dross spoon, tin can, folded cotton towel - and a mould.  sawdust makes a great flux.  as to toxic lead fumes, do it with some ventilation or outdoors or both - it's really not at all that bad.  dip lubing is just as easy, too.

never had a need to do that with all three of my melters - i just place the mould on its ledge.  also, never had a need to smoke a mouid.  it's all good, whatever works out best.
