Some of the bullets are boughten..some I cast. Tried harder and softer..softer 459s shoot the best but still not great. My Marlin 30-30 shoots 309s pretty good..larger not so well as the chamber must be tight necked. I think I am going to buy the 1895 Cowboy gun..Longer bbl and heavier gun..Just don't like safeties on my Lever guns. I have lead for casting in ingots already checked for hardness and I do heat treat some but not all bullets. My 444 shoots lead fairly well too and I also use the 429421 bullet but out of a 4 hole mould. That thing sucks the lead out of my ol SAECO pot
