OP Knucklehead36 Campfire Member K Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 234 Maryland	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

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'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 !
