Looking to try the Gould Express in my Winchester 1886 45-90 WCF. Does anyone know of a cast bullet maker who sells this particular bullet? So far Mt. Baldy Bullet Co. is the only company I can find, and their not cheap. Any help would be great. Thanks Eric

Those bullets have a rep for rather explosive traits. Lotsa meat destruction. Lyman has a mold for a HP slug of around that weight that would fare well in a levergun cast at about 20:1.

I just loaned out that EXACT set up, but for the .43 Spanish / .44-77 family.

I'm not so sure I would not use an even HARDER alloy than 20:1, ET.

Knucklehead, is your Winchester '86 sporting the typical 1 in 22" twist rate ?

If so, it oughta' LOVE the Lyman # 2650122 !

456122 is the Ideal Mold for the 330 Gould Express. 457122 is the Lyman Mold. Great bullet!

The bullet was designed to be cast soft and fired at blackpowder velocities.
