Has anyone seen any or have a line on anything? I'm open to anything 0.509-0.510", 450gr-600gr but it will be at 2150fps so probably can't be cast.

Just not finding much and thought I would see if anyone else had seen some.
 
Since Woodleigh burned down in Australia there aren't really any options for good jacketed bullets. I'd try making a hard-cast, jacketed and gas-checked bullet. Most .510 barrels have a very gentle twist like 1:18 and it might work.

I'm making these using an NOE mould:

I haven't pushed them that fast yet but plan to this summer.
 
Which mold is that propliner? Weight? How fast do you figure you could shoot that and what are you using them in?

I checked out NOE and most molds are out of stock unfortunately.

Are you in Calgary by chance?

I shoot these in a 500 Jeffery R8 Blaser and can get them to probably 1900fps but haven't done it yet. They're around 510 grains I think. Will weigh some tomorrow.

I'm away tonight so can't check but I think the mould is the 513-521-RF-AG1. Yes I'm in Calgary and could spare a few bullets for you to try if you want.
 
Right on, they do look like nice bullets!

I'm trying to feed a 500 nitro and meet regulation I will probably need to push these pretty fast.

I will send you a PM, even as dropped would be handy and I can size, GC and Lube. But really I should buy the mold if I'm confident they will work.
 
Need something expanding or cast with a HP or flat meplate unfortunately. Needs to be a stopper, as that was the reason for this firearm for my needs.
 
I also have a box of Woodleigh 535gr HP I can spare. They're heavy-jacketed but would meet hunting requirements. PM me.
