New to the board and need reloading/bullet help

Post by bulldogs72 »

Greatings,
I am new to this site and was wondering if anyone could help me find some reloading bullets.At my sportsman club we can't shot anything jacketed and I was wondering if anyone has a source for plated or lead bullets.I have Hornady XTP's but can't use them.Any help would be great.

thanks

I don't reload yet. But if you can't find any, why not mold your own? It looks like molds are only about $20, and available.

Why is it that they don't allow anything jacketed? That kind of rules out 98% of the non reloaded ammo.

Would you know if you have to "gas check" these.My buddy is going to reload for me and he is not sure on unplated or hard cast bullets.Any help would be great.

I have been using Bear creek supply cast lead bullets for over 10 years and I live them.
