Adjustable 50 Cal Bullet Mould Design

I want to do another one of the hollow base (with 4 sets of pins for 4 different bullet weights) for the .502 sized firearms.  Anybody have any ideas for preferences on nose design/shape and also the 4 different bullet weight options?

Truncated Cone for something different? 300gr hb? 350gr, 400gr, 500gr?

I would opt for the nose profile of the HTC502-325-FN-BZ2 2 Cavity GC since it feeds well in my 50Beo. Would love to see a 500gr and better yet, with a gas check design if possible. Slick sided. An added roll crimp groove for those looking to use this bullet in their revolvers.

Can’t do a gas check with a hollow base mold model.  I agree that a crimp groove would be desired for the 500 S&W shooters.  Wonder if a truncated cone nose design would be cool–haven’t seen much of those. Think a TC would feed in the beo?

I haven’t seen any TC designs either and I would say its close enough to the RNFP that it should feed just fine. I loaded the Lee 440GC which is close to a TC and I have never had any issues. 500gr is what primarily piques my interest.

Ok, here is the technical drawing of the lightest weight 502 with a hollow base and truncated cone nose:
Feedback?

Looking good so far. Looks clean! We still going for the 500gr on the full size pins? If so, im in.

Will this mold be available before the Spring sale ends? How can we purchase this mold?

The other weights are planned to be 350gr with the flat base pin, and then 400gr, and 500gr.

I updated the drawing to be the 350gr bullet instead of 364gr.  As soon as I get the pricing I can create the group buy if nobody has any desired changes.

Sounds good to me. This is my first time participating in a group buy. How do I do this and is there anything else I need to know?
