44 300grn lead bullets - Sources?

[Bittermansbro]

Does anyone know where I can find RCBS 44-300 GC lead bullets? Anyone have any, seen any, know of anyone that makes?

I am interested in picking up some of the little darlings so that I can treat them rough by launching them from various metal tubes.

Don't know about the RCBS ones, but I've been loading and shooting lead 300gn FP from the Bullet Barn with great success.

Thanks Cerdan, the GC SWC was recommended to me, but maybe the reg one will work just as well for my application.

I'm shooting a hard cast 325 gr WFN from MT Chambers. PM Ben Hunchak for prices.

Fate's bringing me back to Ben for lead....its inevitable!

Here's the back story. I am loading for an old Russian Berdan rifle in a calibre called 42 Russian. Chap on Gunboards recommended the 44 cal 300grn SWC gascheck as a good bullet for that long obsolete round. This gun is basically like having an old Springfield Trapdoor. I have to slug the bore and see how it turns out , but I expect a .429 or .430 will be the necessary evil.

about 4-5 years ago, I used to get 44-300 grain Laser Cast Bullets from the Powder Keg in Kamloops.

I'm wondering in what respect is your Russian rifle like a Trapdoor?
I have an original trapdoor in beautiful condition, that I blow the cobwebs out of from time to time.
