Default Conical 465grs.?

I have 10 concials in a plastic tube, they weigh 465 grs. lead have a tapered bottom narrow flat top. Have blue lube on them, they're 50 cal. Does anyone know the conical name of them?

post a picture of them and what caliber they are.. it would help to identify them. Perhaps they are a custom mold or home casted by someone with a Lyman mold.

It might be a White conical. They use a blue lube and have a slight taper on the base of some versions of their bullets. Check this link and scroll down a bit.

Dave.. you are probably right. I have some White Conicals that came in a clear plastic tube with blue caps on the tube. I never knew the weight of them but they did have a blue lube. They shot excellent in my Ultra Mag.

I tried the 400's in one of my guns and didn't get as good of accuracy as I got from the 460's. They do make some good looking bullets though. I need to go back and try them with a wad or card under them to see if it helps.
