.44 Mag bullet recommendation

[gwalchmai]

I'd like a lead, plated, or polymer 200-225gr, Flat Base SWC. Similar to Rainier's .45ACP 200gr. SWC. Anyone know of one?

Not quite what you are looking for, but I use the Speer 240g LSWC with a lot of success. Bass Pro used to sell the bullets in boxes of 500 around here, but they are out of stock now, and seem to be getting out of the reloading business...

Thanks, BigDog. Midway sells those. I may pick up some. I really like Speer's LSWCHPs in 158gr for my .38SPL.

I ordered some 185gr flat base full wadcutters from Gardner's Cache this afternoon. They look promising.

Time to start casting your own!

But, take a look at Amy's lead bullets. She's a member here and even though I haven't purchased from her, since I pour my own, she looks to have very good prices and bullets available. (I don't remember the name of her business, but Amy was her name.)

I shoot a keith style 250 lead flat nose with h-110 or h-4227powders
Both give me great accuracy and deadly on hogs and deer or any other animal with in my 75 yrd kill zone.
I shoot a Ruger Super Redhawk, scoped 4x30 91/2" and it smokes any thing I hit with this round.
the keith style bullet has large lube ring and good crimp ring.
cast with lyman # 2 alloy its a great leab tip for all purpose's.
I even shoot a 215 grain keith style and its just as good as the 250.

I keep at least a 1000 on hand at all times in my shop .
They guys here in GA buy a lot of them from me.

Any more info, Steve? I can't find a user by that name.

Meldrin - Thanks. I'll drop you a line next time I'm down that way.
