Default Looking for cast 30 cal bullets.

I am looking for some cast bullets for some reduced 30-30 loads. I found bullet barn has 165gr but that's the only option I see. I would like to buy them at a store but would order them on line if I need to. Any weight might be ok but 150gr would be best.

Also, if you had reduced loads you want to share I would love to hear them!

Thanks

I'd just add that I've ordered once from The Bullet Barn. The bullets that I ordered were out of stock, so they emailed me and said that they would mould some for me. I got the package within 10 days, which I consider to be pretty good service considering they didn't have them in stock. The bullets seem to be a very good quality, and I'd order again without hesitation.

I will count up the 165 grain bullet barn lead casts i have and let you know how many i have. You can have them if you want.

Talk to Lois at bullet barn. She'll be able to do custom weights, gc or not, double, triple lube grooves. I haven't placed an order myself but those I've spoken to rave about their service and quality.

P & D usually has cast bullets in stock. Call them and see if they have what you want. Another vote for Bullet Barn, I use a lot of their product. Excellent service and will custom pour just about anything and for a very reasonable price. Excellent customer service.

I talked to P&D but they didn't have any rifle cast bullets. Oh well, I will stick to the bullet barn.

Thanks.
