Zero 185 GR WCBN Replacement

Hello All,

This is probably a bad time to be looking for this but I'll give it a try. I have used the Zero 185GR WCBN for my short line loads for quite a while but they have discontinued them. I haven't hunted the internet yet but does anyone have a recommendation for a replacement? I would like to stay with this weight and profile if possible but if nobody is making them, then alternative suggestions are welcome.

Thanks for your help.

Missouri makes cast H&G 130 clones look for the 45 cal “Button”.

And Brazos makes a couple of 180 SWC that will work.

Magnus #801.

I would expect their 185 LSWC and 185 HPLSWC to shoot the same as button nose, maybe even better.

The magnus 801 is a great bullet...Terry offers a discount to board members if you let.him know

John, if you want to stick with a swaged bullet get the Zero 185 swchp. The nose is longer but the bearing surface is the same. I've used them interchangeably in the past.

Thank you guys for the leads. I will check these out over the next couple of days and I'm sure one (or more) will work as a replacement.
Jim, I will take those Star Bullets. I used those before they were discontinued and I had to find the Zero bullets to replace them. Funny how it goes full circle.
I do like the idea of the swaged bullet because they have always worked well for me with no leading issues but I might give the cast bullets a try. I like the WCBN mostly because I can tell them apart from my long line loads at a glance. Most of the other SWC versions are going to have a strong resemblance to those and I was trying to avoid that confusion. I might try a couple different bullets just to see.
Thanks again.

Give Brazos or Bayou coated 185 grain SWC a try, I use the Bayous and they work well and don't lead the barrel.

Try these.  You'll never go back to wax.
