.348 bullets

[105kw]

Does anybody know of a source for leadfree, nonlead bullets for the .348 Winchester. Barnes have been out of production forever, and are rare now. Any help appreciated.

That could be a tough one.

AmmoSeek say no:

But Gunbroker says yes:

Welcome to tfl 105kw

I don't know of any right now, but I will keep my eyes open.

I did check Gunbroker, but could not find anything lead free.

Good Luck!

However, there seems to be a whole lot of nothing, loaded ammo included, for the .348. Barnes does even list a .348" solid copper bullet. Only .348" they show is an "Original" and those are not lead free.
Know anybody who owns or works in a machine shop? Ask 'em to turn some copper for you.

Thanks, if I find anything out I'll post again. I found one 50rd box of Barnes 220gr .348. It's a start.

You could try sizing down a .451/.452 copper bullet.
Banded would be better.
And I don't think you'd get more than 0.001" at a time, using a Lee die in a reloading press.
But it could be an option.
