Solid Copper Projectiles

[wood hog]

i've been looking for non-toxic buckshot for a while....

 

[GrizzlyLC]

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

 

[bud69]

Do some hunting bullet for the .30

 

[jamesharrison]

Yes, as long as you use the orange sabots.

Doest a 45/70 bullet also let you use it in a sabot for .50cal muzzleloaders?

 

[floriosean1]

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

 

[longrangethumper]

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

 

[Pepperpopper]

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

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.

 

[Taylor-Made]

Possibly heavy .224 bullets for the guys that can legally hunt deer with them.

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

45/70 would be terrific

 

[chrisco]

45-70 government please. The only government I believe in.

Shoot straight - chrisco

 

[LR1250]

.50 bmg 700 grains and over and with high BC. As well possibly a HP for hunting.

 

[Mattkov]

One more for 45-70

 

[mbogo3]

Likely a niche for .312 diameter flat base not BT in 150 + /174-180gr

 

[B]

.40/10mm would be nice.

This would be the perfect bear protection bullet for a 45/70 in my opinion, 400 grain is ideal as there is load data available and you can achieve very good velocities from a Marlin Guide Gun. If you could make a similar design that would be great.

300 grain is perfect for 44 mag as well as there is lots of load data available for this weight bullet.

 

[desjardo]

6.5

 

[jordanlillico]

Hallow point .452 for 450 bushmaster 460 s&w ect

 

[redbirddog]

45/70 bullets, yes please!

 

[Aniest]

.303 in 150gr and 174gr

What about cheap 100, 110grn 30 cal for a M1 carbine.

Seriously Chemist, you might not sell a huge number but I bet the buyers would be ECSTATIC if you did hunting capable reproductions of the military FMJ bullets like:

110gr Round nose .308 for .30 Carbine

174gr Spire Point .306 for 7.5x55 Swiss

174gr Spire Point .311 for .303 British

Just to name a few. Right now I am loading 168gr .308 for the 7.5x55 Swiss and it is very accurate, but I am having issues matching the reload to the iron sights trajectory of the GP11. There might not be a huge demand, but you might be able to do things like make the 174 .311 and then swage it down for 174gr .306 as well. This would cut down on multiple manufactures.

Anyways, just a suggestion: good luck.

 

[7.62mm]

Another vote for 6.5!
45/70 pills would be welcome also.

 

[pico766]

20mm projos, 14.5mm projos.
