Source for .454 Colt bullets
Where do you get yours?
I'm loading for a Colt Bisley, and a rechambered S&W 455. I'm about out of the bullets I had, and don't know who made them. They seemed a bit soft anyway.
If available, would a hollow base bullet work well?

I've recently been using Bayou bullets, they will size them .454 on request.

Yeah.....the 200 or 250 grain would probably work for me. Thanks.

Dardas, unlike some other net sellers of cast bullets, offers the popular
magma design bullets in different diameters, including .454 in 45 cal.

Missouri Bullet Company will also size special for you, according to their web page. You have to email them first using their "Contact Us" form. They also offer their bullets in softer and harder alloys too. I assume you would want the softer alloy for your needs, which has a Brinell hardness of 12.

Try GT Bullets. Never used 'em, but plan to. They look pretty good.
