375 bullets suitable for lever action rifles are hard to find.A commercial cast bullet manufacture has advised me they would purchase a mold and make 200gr gas checked bullets IF I order 1,000 bullets. Price probably $40/100. We can choose the mold(bullet design). Any 375 Winchester shooters interested?

I use cast in my 375. The three moulds I have don’t take gas checks. I don’t think they are needed as velocity/pressure isn’t really all that high. Price matches what I would be selling bullets with GC’s attached. If your not going to get into casting buying from someone that does is the next best option.

I should have bought 2000 of these when you were making them as they shot just fantastic from my rifle. Very good accuracy at 1700 fps from RL-7 or IMR 4198
Have been looking for a replacement as most of the commercial 38-55 cast bullets are .379 and not GC.

Cheaper to pick up a mold yourself and mold them. At the end of the day you still have the mold.
Oh oh! Looks like a "gateway drug". Pick up a mold, then a a sizer, gas checks, camp stove not good enough after awhile so get a furnace, already got one mold may as well buy another then you can buy that 577Snider Martini Henry you came across, it was a pretty good price, and off the cliff you go along with all your $$$ But hey look at all that money you saved somewhere along the way!
Most .379" bullets "could" be sized .377" to work better in 375 Winchester.
I run mine through a 0.378 sizer.
Eureaka, good cast bullet source for 375 Wincheaster
Just tried out some 275gr GC bullets in my Winchester BB 375Win and my Marlin 1894 in 375Win(Microgroove barrel). Shot well, getting 1.5" groups at 50yds. I have not started to work up loads. These were loaded to 1500fps. No leadiing seen at that velocity.

Aden at Highwoodcasting great guy to deal with.
I hope this helps some 375 Winchester shooters.
