Are these bullets a seasonal run?

I got into 450 Marlin last year and bought a couple boxes from Midway and now that I need more they are unavailable and have been for a while.

I don't if they are a seasonal run, whenever I needed some I could get them.
Doesn't seem to work that way anymore with alot of bullet companies or other products.
You might try calling Cast Performance and ask.

That’s awesome. I think I’ve pretty much settled on the Hornady 410gr subx and cast 405s with gas checks. Get both worlds. The lead cast definitely feels “pure” to shoot out of that old gun but I’m a millennial and I like new things too hahaha a high wall and a sharps is on my list to get. Love those old single shot hunting rifles.

For your target velocity you’ll want to use a flat lead cast bullet.

Give this a read if you haven’t yet.

I’ve thought about trying their 300gr shock hammers! I’m interested to see/hear how they do for you!

So for all those wondering I’ve decided on a 350gr Speer hot core over 50gr of IMR 3031 and full case length shooting ~1650fps. I was weary of the hot cores cause I had been told that they were built for the .458 win mag & wouldn’t expand below 1800fps, but a gentleman that works at a local gun store told me he’s used them out of his muzzleloader and lever gun below that speed and had good expansion on deer and a wild pig below the velocity. The load shoots a 4” 5 shot group @ 100 yards.
