Here's a few places that do rifle bullet casting:

I haven't any experience with any of these folks' bullets, so you are on your own.

 

For BAM shooting, you may want a fairly hard bullet, so you can get to about 1600-1800 FPS.  Look for either 16 Brinell hardness, or "quench hardened" lead alloy or linotype alloy for starters.  Most of the time, a gas checked bullet will be what you want, as well, for better accuracy.    And heavier bullets with a spire tip often feed through military bolt guns better than flat nosed slugs.

 

Good luck, GJ

Hey guys, thanks ever so much for the info, just one more thing,...where does

 

Jackeroo, Dusty Boddams put me on to Norm Purcella in NM.  I don't know what he offers in 7mm.  Service is prompt, bullets are OK. 

 

Call or write: npurcella56@gmail.com or phone at 575-625-2825

 

In the 7.5x55 Swiss for a K31 carbine, I use 15 gr Trail Boss with a 168 gr GC at 1500 fps.  I tried TB in the  30-06 but it didn't shoot as tight a group as did IMR 4064 (32.0 - 32.5) pushing the same bullet about 1600 fps.

 

Trail Boss makes the K31 spit like a mad cat, no recoil, no muzzle jump.
