Roger at South Yorkshire shooting in Wombwell near Barnsley is a good bet but iv never seen swaged 45 bullets though. They are normally hard cast. Roger will know if anyone will. Top bloke to deal with. His web site is www.rimfiremagic.co.uk
You could always cast your own out of old wheel weights. Yes it will cost about £75 "ISH" to set up but its dead easy to do and once youve cast a few hundred youve recouped your expence and your in profit. Tim

Gents,

I thought wheel weights were now zinc?

If you're looking to cast for accuracy at distance then try to get as pure raw materials as possible, it really does help. also if you're going to use BP or a nitro substitute do not cast them too hard, somewhere around 20:1's always worked in a verierty of rifles for me.

Warning though - casting can become adictive
