[QUOTE="MOAaccurateBob, post: 1200655, member: 86677"] I am in the middle of a long range rifle build that will eventually be chambered in the .375 Allen Express whenever I get the money together to send it off to Kirby Allen at APS rifles. Until then I have been trying to get together some different brands of .375 high bc bullets. I found one box of Cutting Edge Match/TAC/Hunting bullets in 350grain weight, and a couple of boxes of Speer 270gr boat tail soft points(not a real high bc), and I have ordered a couple of boxes of the GS Custom 291gr long range bullets #375291sp174. I can't find any 350gr Sierra MK's anywhere, they all are out of stock no backorder. Anyway, I cant help but ask if anybody has ever made High BC, boat tail bullets in a lead alloy cast or maybe casting them in brass alloy? I looked at Corbin for making my own bullets but everything would cost around $3000+ for the presses and dies etc, not in my financial abilities right now. Would a lead alloy, cast bullet be able to withstand velocities in the 2500-just over 3000fps range? The reason I ask is because the price for .375 cal long range bullets is out of this world. I only plan on shooting at steel gongs out past a grand with the gun but want accuracy also. If I decide to hunt with the rifle I will go with the lower bc easy to get bullets like the Nosler's, Barnes, Speer etc. Also, why is it that nobody has cast a brass bullet instead of turning them on a cnc lathe?
