You might check some of the classifieds of the muzzleloader forums. Ive seen the Hornady Great plains bullets on there for sale quite often. Among other bullets.

I am in the same position with .54 & .58 calibers as I have always preferred the Hornady Great Plains bullets and am down to four in .54 and a couple boxes in .58.

I have found some other conicals available online but hadn't really gotten serious about them - yet.

I hear ya on the 54's, been hard to find for a while now.
I ended up buying a Lee mold a couple months back, I did try it one afternoon.
Made about a dozen, but I have yet to try them.
The mold says 380, but I believe mine came out a little heavier.
Probably be a while before I get around to trying them.

If you like I could send 'em to you to try.
I don't mind.

Did you get the hollow base style?

If so I might take you up on your offer!

Ed, I honestly don't remember, I don't think so.
I will check in the morning.

Hey Ed,

Hey Ed,

Hey Vaq thanks for the follow up and I see you have the solid base mold.

If you DON'T mind sending me a few of these I would like to give them a try anyway.

I was hoping to see hollow base but who knows? These might perform as well or better.

These are .54 Cal. correct?

Ed, yes they are .54 cal.
PM me your address and I will get them out to you the next week.
