.427" 180-230 grain jacketed bullets. where do you get em?

[broncoo]

i have been looking for some for a bit now no one i have asked has or knows where to get em

anything from 180-230 grains is good in a hp, rnfp, etc, just no fmj's

.429-.430" is too big and won't chamber

can i swage .430" jacketed bullets through my lead bullet sizer die (lee) to get them down to .427"?

if i cannot find what i want i may just do this to see if it works

I see that the winchester 200 grain is listed on the "Higginson Powder Inc." web site.
A call to them will tell if they are in stock.

Hornady makes a 205 grain lead bullet for just such emergencies.

PM heading you way.

It's a beauty of an antique rifle. Hopefully it's going to harvest it's first deer in a long time this fall. I hope I'm there that day
