I have 2 rifles and am in need projectiles. I would prefer jacketed but also need some cast lead, until my moulds get here.
 
Are you ordering from Accurate molds? If you placed an order with Tim today, you will probably receive it next week. He is fast!
 
Don’t know where you are located, but if you are in the US, I have 29ea Woodleigh 440gr 500BP bullets.
$65 shipped USPS
I also have 2 boxes (50ea) of the Woodleigh 50 Alaskan/50/110 Win 500gr bullets.
$110 shipped USPS

I don’t know for sure if the 50 Alaskan bullets are appropriate for a BPE rifle, but they are rated for very similar velocity so I would expect them to have a similar jacket thickness. Anyone know if this is so?
 
I am in Texas. I am interested in them, let me check to see if the 500gr will be appropriate for a BPE. I have a NE with 570gr bullets but they raise the pressure too much.

500 BPE typically requires a 440gr bullet with a soft lead core and a gilding metal jacket of about .025"-.035" thick. This compared to the 570gr 500NE load that has a .065" thick jacket.

Sources: Woodleigh made them, Hawk bullets will make them if you order 500 or more.

I am interested in the 440gr bullets. I think the 500s are too heavy for a BPE.

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.

Hello:
I’ll take the .375 Whitworth for $1,150 if the deal falls through.
Thanks .
