New Heavy Weight Cast Bullets

A number of heavy weight custom cast bullets are under development. A 400 grain .375 cast bullet is currently under development. It's an LBT design with a gas check. It's a LCFN nose design and will provide maximum penetration for the .375 H&H, .375 Ruger and .378 Weatherby. This custom cast bullet should perform better than conventional solids at a fraction of the cost. The target muzzle velocity is 2100 fps. This moderate velocity will enable the 400 grain hard cast bullet to break large bones and punch through thick muscle and keep going.

Hard cast bullets are the next generation of hunting bullets. They are accurate, easy on the rifling, reliable and inexpensive. You can load them light for target practice or heavy for hunting. Custom cast bullets offer flexibility in weights and designs.
