In light of recent decisions to discontinue these bullets, I enlisted the assistance of a small bullet maker to make similar bullets.

The 348 nose die was cut too short and we're waiting on a reamer to cut it deeper. A new die would take 6-18 months to manufacture and a "warranty" repair may take just as long to complete. Bullet weights will likely range between 220gr and 250gr.

The 35 cal bullets may become available sooner. They will closely replicate the Speer 220gr HCFN. They are intended to work well in 35 Rem and 356 Win leverguns but may have more applications. Bullet weights will likely range between 200gr and 220gr.

I have been focused on a lower 48 version and an Alaska version of both bullets. The Alaska version will likely have less lead exposed and a thicker or longer jacket.

Prices will vary based on nose profiles, exposed lead, jacket thickness, and whether they can be bonded for more duarability. If I had to guess I'd say .60 - .90 each. Again, that's just a guess.

I'll update this thread once bullets are available for purchase or more details become available.

Thanks, Dinny
