So, what have you? If you have the right mold, I might be interested, I can cast.
Or, it you have some appropriate bullets, cast or jacketed, I might be interested.
Right now, my Model 70 in .375 Holland & Holland Magnum is a very fancy paper weight.

I personally would not shoot cast bullets in a Magnum caliber cartridge chambered rifle. That is unless you really know what you’re doing, as if you don’t you will lead line the bore rather quickly. I know there are guys out there that cast and even use swagging dies for metal patching their own bullets. But you are talking about some work and I’m not sure it is worth the trouble to do such an endeavor. Just my humble opinion.

Yes, I am aware of this. I know you have to keep your velocity low.
Jacketed bullets preferred, of course.
