Started a mold yesterday evening (April Fools day), finished it today. Wanted to make a 50 with the same nose cutter I used on my 45 & 52 molds. This bullet was made 0.100" longer than the 52.
Messed up on the first nose pin, so just cut it for a solid. Meplat is 1/4" diameter with HP 0.150" at nose tapered and 3/8" long. I kept the HP small and short as I thought the bullet would be about 525gr - since it isn't, I may make another pin a little longer and slight less taper.
Base band 0.502", all others bands measure 0.5015", ojive diameter 0.499"- pure lead.
Hope to get to the range to try it soon...
