looking for 287 and 461 bullets

[cwhuntsalot]

I'm looking for some bullets for my cartridge display boards. I need some .287s for the 280 Ross and 280 Flanged Nitro Express, and some .461s for the 461 #1 and #2 Gibbs.
I know beggars can't be choosers, but if possible I'd like 25 each of 2 different profiles. They'll be mounted right next to each other on the boards.
Feel free to PM if you can help me out
THANX

Paper patched for the Gibbs rounds?

I know the 461 Gibbs' eventually transitioned to jacketed bullets. I've never dealt with paper patched. Don't recall ever seeing one so I'm clueless.
I'd prefer the jacketed bullets, but if I have to try the paper patched I'll give it a go.

I don’t think you will have any luck finding the copper clad bullets of the correct design/ogive.
Your only option, and one I’d like to try myself, is to find a cast bullet with the correct shape and electro plate them with copper.
You could do this with a .458” cast bullet as the Gibbs bullets were actually .461”
