200 Grain WFN lead bullet for the 10mm.
Can anyone tell me who may have these in stock for the 10mm I would prefer to load my own ammo so i ma just looking for the bullet. I want to try some before I invest in a LBT 4 cavity mould to make sure they feed reliably.
Best bet is to beg here for a few.
I would gladly send you some of mine, but they are from a custom mold. So, even if they work, not terribly repeatable, eg you can't go buy they same mold.
I appreciate the offer and understand the dilemma.
I ma huge LBT Veral Smith fan and have used his bullets with great success from many platforms. But the feeding issue is one that takes great consideration and i think that he WFN from him may cause feeding issues with the meplat at .90 of caliber. I may just look at the LFN and have Mould made or just break down and buy some ammo and try it before I shell out $175.00 bucks for 4 cavity mould.
Anyway I appreciate the feedback.
I have a 5 cavity Aluminum 200gr LFNPB mould from Accuratemolds.com (model # 200G) = Cost $149.00.
The bullet shoots good in my STI at 1100 fps. Hunting season is here so I don't have time to cast and send you some. If you can wait till December :D I will get some to you.

Yeah if your handle is correct I will swap you for some .476 420 grain WFN that I cast up and I will even dig up my .476 fullwad cutter mould for the 475 480.
475/480's Accurate 200G mold is a good one; I like that bullet.
If you can find out what the meplat diameter is on the LBT bullet you're looking at, we can probably tell you if it will work or not. In my experience, meplats larger than ~.280-.300" require seating shorter than max OAL to prevent binding in G20 magazines.
Double Tap has WFNGC hardcast in 200 gr & 230 gr
Beartooth has a very similar profile in 200 gr.
Thanks for the help. Time is compressing on me so this may end up winter project. I appreciate all the great feedback.
I got some DT 200 grain and loaded them up over 7.8 grains of Long Shot and CCI350 primer they are most likely around 1150 from my Compensated 6" LW long slide setup. the feeding on these is very reliable and I really like this load. The recoil in my gun is light and accuracy is outstanding. I am on group buy for mold on cast-boolits and this looks like a keeper load for me for deer hunting out to around 50 yards or so. Now I just have too get my sight regulated to the load as I use Advantage Tactical fixed sights. Might leave the tru-glow sights on for deer hunting though.
