Source for Soft Lead Bullets

[dieselsot]

I am wondering if all the antique shooters tend to make their own soft lead bullets or if there is somewhere that sells common sized soft lead bullets in Canada.

Been looking around local gun shops for .451/.452/.454 soft lead bullets but nothing really considered soft lead. .451 Muzzleloader soft ball is the closest thing I could find to start shooting for the time being, but I'd much prefer a conical bullet.

I saw some cowboy bullets for sale on American websites but I can only imagine the hoop jumping to bring these into Canada.

Cheers,

I know a fellow who lives in Cambridge, Ontario, who casts soft bullets for me. If you are interested, let me know and I'll see if he's open to casting for you. He does minimum batches of 500, but I usually buy 1,000 at a time. Cost depends upon mould number, bullet weight and gas checks.

You can buy the molds from SIR, russels sports or wholesale sports. I found some lead lining from an old dental office and that works good but I need to by a different and bigger grain mold. Old houses will often have lead pipes and lead flashing that works well.

I would just start casting personally, Lee bullet molds only cost $25, and lots of variations are available in .45 cal. Then you can tune the lead hardness from pure lead to hard linotype alloys, anything that floats your boat.
