About Our Prices ...

    This bullet is a lighter weight alternative with less recoil than the 500 grain Sharps design for single shot rifles. This design and weight is about the minimum that will still shoot very well in these rifles with their rates of twist set up for the 500 grain (1 in 18 (500 grain) to 1 in 22 ( 405 grain)) out to about 150 to 200 yards max. Beyond that distance the 500 grain delivers better accuracy performance. The nose profile is longer and sits farther out of the case to minimize bullet jump than the RNFPBB 405 grain bullet made for lever gun use so this design might not be suitable for lever gun applications. The bullet features three grease grooves anda plain base for the purists.
    This bullet is now cast in our 30 to 1 alloy (30 parts lead to one part tin) for blackpowder use.
    I also now provide this bullet in an as cast form without lube and it does not need sizing for most applications.
    Due to time and manufacturing constraints I can no longer supply these bullets hand lubricated with the blackpowder lube.
    I will provide a black powder lube with each order so that you can easily pan or hand lube these bullets yourself for your application.
   This will also allow me to lower the cost of these bullets, keep more of them in stock and fill orders more quickly than before and the bullets will also arrive in better condition without the soft BP lube being spread everywhere by the shipping process.
