    What kind of copper solids? Match bullets (thinking Warner Tool Flat lines) or Hunting style round like Barnes????

    I'd be all over .30 and 6.5mm

    Yes, as long as you use the orange sabots.

    Maybe i'm alone on this one. What about 00 or 000 buck shot? so long as the price isn't insane I would definitely buy some 7/8 or 1 ounce 12 or 20 gauge slugs. Finding slugs for reloading is difficult, finding ones that aren't lead is impossible

    50 bmg and 338 in a ULD profile. What are you looking at for quantities and price points?

    45-70 and 50 Alaskan. But presumably there is no demand for 50 alaskan.

    This:

    https://cuttingedgebullets.com/458-400gr-lever-gun-safari-solid

    Or this:

    https://www.midwayusa.com/product/774323/woodleigh-hydrostatically-stabilized-solid-bullets-45-70-government-458-diameter-400-grain-box-of-10

    These are brass, that seems typical of DG solids.

    Problem with 45-70 is that the to fit levers it can't stick out of the case all that much, so the heavier the bullet the lower the case capacity in an already under powered situation So it seems 400 grains is near the limit in brass.

    Pardon my ignorance. Where can you hunt with .224?

    45/70 would be terrific
