Custom Mountain Mold for My 500 S&W

[boatswainsmate]

Hello All,
I got to use my new custom Mountain Mold in the cold Indiana morning. There tipping the scales at 458 grains in my alloy. The mold was designed to replicate John Ross's long range bullets. Thanks for looking. Boats

I made them tootsie rolls.

I plan to try .501 at first and .500 if I have issues.

Is the longer rounds nose and small meat more for extended range? I know Keith had good luck with his SWC design placing weight forward and still having a big meplat for good impact shock on game animals.

The bullet was designed for long range shooting by John Ross. I had to modify it's lube grove since the maker wouldn't cut his Ross's original design.
