Well, most places using the Magma machines will offer 300gn truncated cone projectiles for the 44Mag. I load these to 1300fps using W296 and use them in my SBH.

Beartooth and a few others offer LBT and other designs in the 300+gn form, usually a 320gn LNGC design.

I use 250gn RCBS Keith bullets in my 44Mag, I'd be willing to sell you some if interested.

If you want to buy a mold, I'd be willing to cast you some bullets for you. Or you can wait for me to get around to getting a LBT design 44 mold, but it might be a while.

PM me if interested. I'm not selling commercially, but I'm on a cast bullet kick and I'm willing to share my gear if you like. S/F...Ken M

try Sheema's Outdoor Sports, in Merrillville. On Broadway, about 70th street, about 1 mile from South Lake Mall (or Star Plaza Theater).

He carries a big selection of Laser Cast as described in another post.

Go to the gunshow at Kane county this weekend. You might find a supplier there. Good luck!
