.505 cal 500 gr cast bullets?

Anyone have a source for .505" bullets between 450 and 525 grains?

I have a mould that casts a plain based bullet of about 520 out of pure lead. Cast from lino or similar it would be somewhat lighter. I do not have a sizer in .505, but I can cast a few and let you know what they drop at.

I typically pan lube my muzzleloader bullets, and if this bullet meets your needs I see no reason you couldn't do that.

Let me know if you want me to pursue this. The profile is a long round nose with a fairly large meplat and one large grease groove, if memory serves.

Thanks for the offer. I am just looking for something to buy off the shelf with a gas check.
