Even if you dont cast your own just buy coated lead bullets, there much cheaper than jacketed bullets.
    Falcon has done me well and Missouri Bullet.

    I used to buy Zero bullets from Roze Distribution, but they are generally swamped and usually only have jacketed ammo, not just bullets/boolits.

    I used to as well, but there name got out there to much. Which means they hardly ever have what i needed. Plus when i moved i had to get rid of my reloading equipment. Not enough room, went from a 25000 square foot house on 21 acres with my own range out to 500 yards, to a 700 square foot apartment.

    You should check out rocky mountain reloading, they sell bullets that have been pulled or newly manufactured bullets from companies like hornady, sierra, and speer. You can get bullets like federal fusion, gold dots, and lots of other premium bullets for a good price.

    Always in the market for Gold Dots, XTP, and would like to get a hold of some Magtech 165 grain solid copper hollow point bullets to tinker with using some Vhitavouri N350 powder I stocked up on.
    Guy had a sack of them at a gun show but didn't want to sell his last bag. No idea where he got them, I've never run across Magtech components before.

    They generally come from companies like RMR. There will be a problem with a lot of ammunition, and they pull the ammo apart, then sell as components. Shooters pro shop is another company that sells reloading components for a good price, but they only sell nosler products. Its a good way to get nosler 64gr bonded performance bullets. They're just like trophy bonded bear claws. They have a soft point with a solid copper shank. If you need a 224 caliber bullet you cant get better than bonded performance or tbbc (trophy bonded bear claw).
