Besides Beartooth, anyone know of a source for somewhat more reasonably priced lead bullets for .223?  I have a bolt gun and although we can't legally have supressors, it's a hoot to shoot subs out of it.  I'd just prefer to do so for FMJ prices.  They are asking .25 per round plus ship, FYI.  I'd love to get that to .15.  

 

If not, FMJ it is.

At $89.00 /1000  why bother

Unless you're casting yourself, you're not going to save much by switching to lead.  

 

I've seen plenty of guys on castboolits shooting lead either with gas checks or with powder coat.  

Lead runs fine in ar15. Slightly more fouling around the gas tube to clean. To make the bullets yourself is a big plus for cost savings. To buy lead rifle bullets isn't a huge savings over fmj unless you need that particular bullet for some reason.

Thanks all. 

 

It's a bolt gun, so no fouling issues.  I'll just do FMJ as this is just for giggles.
