You sure you need .452? That's usually what lead bullets are sized to. Jacketed bullets are usually .451.

You will probably have to special order .452 fmj bullets. Is there any special reason why you need 452 and not 451?

On another note are you sure you want FMJ or would plated do?

Personally I love the Orgeon Trails laser cast, but when I want something plated for range reasons or what not I use raineer ballastics plated.  I have had great luck with all of these and you will find the cost very affordable.

I use Precision Delta bullets for my practice rounds.   I also like Montana Gold bullets.

i agree on rainier's 230 gn .451 diam plated bullets as well. i've been very happy with them and they're pretty cheap compared to others.

Yeah, .452 would be lead, jacketed or plated would be .451.

I like Montana Gold for jacketed, best bang for the buck I've found.

Rainers are even cheaper if you want to go the plated route.
