I am specifically looking for 44 magnum, 240 and/or 200gr rnfp bullets in .432 or .433 for a marlin rifle. if you know of a supplier that sells these please tell me! Alternatively perhaps a bullet caster on here could produce them for me.
 
Maybe The Bullet Barn can help you? I bought some hard cast bullets for my 44 from them and I've been very pleased with them. Almost time to order another box or 2.

did you use those hard cast from the Bullet Barn in a Marlin rifle? I've read that they need to be quite large to be accurate from them. bullet barn doesn't size them very large at all.

Quite true that Marlins have a history of oversized bores but that is for rifles made in the late 19th and early 20th centuried ( the original 1889, 93, 94 and 95s). Modern guns usually shoot modern cast boolits very well, maybe not what we would characterize as tackdrivers but not keyholing shotguns (as some of the early original are) neither.

My wife & I have owned a half dozen or so modern model 94's and I have test-shot a few dozen more for others over the years and have yet to see one that doesn't shoot under 2" at 50 yrds with BB or Cactus Plains hard cast.

I've bought from Bullet Barn and Jet for my 45-70 and 44 Mag. I personally will purchase from Jet for my future orders.... Jet's hard cast bullets were very accurate in advertised sizing and weight.
