Default RE: 500 gr. Bullshop

Yep, stick to the 500 grain N373 - that's the one you want. Some of these moulds were sent to Dan by the DWBs. I had to come up with a naming scheme for the bullets in the picsso I based it upon the moulds (except for Dan's .451488 grain BS which is his own design). The specimen of the 500 grain MT NEW mould he was sent was ordered from Mountain Molds and sent directly to Dan. That mould didn't have the specs quite right and it doesn't shoot as well as the original design (by Bob Bowers). Not at all Dan's fault, just a misunderstanding of the mould parameters given to Mountain Molds. It's still a good bullet but not AS good as it might have been. The N373 shoots better for most.

I don't think any of the DWBs has any regret about sending Dan their moulds. Dan can produce the bullets at least as well as any of us might have and he does it at a great price. Our intention was that not only could we benefit from his bullet production but others would also be able to have an economical source of great conicals. Seems to be working out well for lots of folks.

Just wish that 500 grain NEW mould had turned out better. That bullet is produced from correct moulds by a few of the DWBs and is one tack driving son of a gun. You might do me the favor of ignoring shots 4 and 5 in the group below ... my nerves went berserk. Group was fired with the correct, intended version of that bullet.



The 460 grain MT NEx is also a great bullet and was my choice for a 500 bullet order.
