buffalo arms has a good selection, they also have a lot of harder to find bullets for BP cartridges.

I've had good accuracy with their 348 bullets but they don't give them away.

Make certain that you call out a cannelure if you order Hawk bullets for your levergun. I neglected that little detail when I ordered some for my Marlin 1894 in 45 colt. I crimped the juice out of them with a Lee Factory Crimp die and recoil still caused everything in the tube to bury the bullets in the case. That first one did a good job on the doe tho, good thing I didn't need a second shot 'cause I didn't have one. (I know.... shoulda tested this out before deer season.. :oops:)
