have used them in my 454, heavy jackets with a hard lead core. At one time they use to make them, but can't say for sure today.

Found the website: http://www.freedomarms.com/b_die.htm

Not sure about availability, would have to call them, I suppose?

I e-mailed them also and got the following reply:

    "FA still has the 260 grain .45 cal. .452 bullets for sale. $34.50 for box of 50, 10, 50 round boxes $345.00 or 1000 rounds bulk for 625.00 plus shipping. We have a limited amount of bullets available and when we sell out we won't carry them any more. To order please call 307-883-2468
    Thank you"

I called the number at 3 pm this afternoon (CDT), but got no answer. I am going to try again later and pick up at least 100 rounds (unless someone gets them all before me).

I don't reload, so I buy my regular ammo from them. The 45 acp's are stamped Blazer, so either they buy blazer brass or they
manufacture the Blazer brand. Fast shippers.

They shore are proud of them at $.70 per +-, that's approaching the Barnes Busters.

What happens if you like them and then can no-longer get them, just saying.

Might want to find out if someone else is going to offer them??
