Default 200 gr H&G

Any member know where I can locate a cast bullet like the H&G 200 gr SWC (sized .452"). Due to health issues, I no longer cast my own and have sold all my casting equipment. Thanks

Take a look here, they have cast and plated, might be something you can use.

Look at missouri bullets IDP #1.

That's the closest to the old H&G 68 I find after a quick search.

Haven't tried them since I still cast my own.

mastercastbullets.com uses actual H&G molds. Get the "soft" alloy.
Zero makes a GREAT swaged lead H&G #68 style 200 gn SWC.
Precision Bullets makes a swaged/coated 200 gn SWC much like the H&G #68.
All three are extremely accurate and more than good enough for Bullseye competition.

You might try Missouri Bullets or SNS casting.

I have used both, and was happy with their product and service.
I've also used the SNS casting coated bullets and liked them.

+ 1 on the Zero swaged . I've shot their 200gr SWC for years in Bullseye Matches . 3.8grs of Bullseye or 3.6grs of VVN-310 is one heck of a 50yd load . Zero & Magnus both offer a 185gr SWCHP that shoot as good as the old Star bullets . Try 3.9grs Bullseye with them . If you load hotter you definately want cast not swaged . I use 4.2grs Bullseye w/ 200gr cast H&G 68 @ 50yds & 3.5grs @ 25yds .
