40 cal cast lead bullets for Winchester 1886

1. Want to Buy

Years ago I acquired a Win. 1886 chambered in 40-82. It left the factory in 1889, and has been extremely well cared for. I shoot it on a fairly regular basis. Back in the 80's I worked up a load that duplicates one of the black powder factory load and my '86 loves it. It is as follows;

.406 / 300 grain cast lead, standard large rifle primer, 33.5 grains 3031 powder with cornmeal filler.

Last week I loaded up a couple of boxes and realized that I am down to the last few bullets and would like to purchase another couple of hundred. I checked the "normal sources" but it seems that the 300 grain bullet slips through the cracks. Anyone out there have a couple of boxes available?

Thanks~

If you don't want to cast your own, perhaps buy the mold and have someone who likes to cast run a batch for you??

@opschief let me look thru my molds, I'm pretty certain I have one. Pretty easy to cast some up, size and lube for you.

I appreciate the heads up. For some reason, your lead never got to me until this evening. Looked like it was in great condition, and the selling price was fair. Wished I'd spotted the listing before now.

Thanks once again.
