    Bullet identity

    This is from a batch of Western Nevada Bullet Co. (out of business years ago)

    What mold is this from? Hensley& Gibbs # 68 ?

    I don't think its a Magma
    Who sells these in bulk ? Down to my last 500
    Thanks in advance
    A number of companies sell these exact bullets. Missouri Bullets is one, my favorite is SNS Casting. Same mold, a little better quality control, same great quick service asa MBC.

      iirc, Western Nevada Bullet company became X-treme Bullets.
      Some guys like their powder like their women, hot, cheap, dirty, that would be TiteGroup. -CocoBolo

        It could be an H&G #68, but it looks a little broader at the meplate.
        However, every bullet casting company supplies an H&G #68 clone of some type and most are quite good.
        Personally, I really like mastercastbullets.com 14 BHN 200gn L-SWC. The best thing, after how accurate they are, is the price: $55.71/1000.
        This does bring up a hard lesson I learned: when you find a bullet and supplier you really like--STOCK UP.
        Two bullet casting companies that I found supplied extremely accurate bullets were MasterBlaster and National Bullet Co.
        MasterBlaster was amazingly accurate but, when I went to order more, they had folded up. Same with NBC, except I think they left some unhappy customers hanging.
