Tony 1 Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I live between Derby and Nottingham. I am looking for anyone who sells .lead bullet heads for the mauser 43 the dia .446” and wt is 370 grams. I can buy them from a outlet in Birmingham but they will only post them which add a extra £ 7.00 per hundred. So I am hoping that someone knows anywhere localy I can purchase them and can collect them when needed . ( hope this make sense) Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casts_by_fly Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 that's a pretty odd caliber and I wouldn't expect anyone to carry them in stock. What cartridge is it? Are you looking for plain lead, as in cast? You should be able to get a bullet mold and make your own if you want cast bullets.

Tony 1 Posted September 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Its a 1871 german mauser black powder rifle yup it s an odd size? At present I am not ready to lay out a lot of cash to buy all the eqipmemt needed to start making the lead bullets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Casting bullets for rifle calibre is getting very difficult now. You really need hard alloy and the traditional source, linotype metal is getting hard to find. Wheelweights are being replaced by zinc weights so that source is drying up too.
