Just went onto the Montana Bullet Works site to get some 400 LBT bullets for the .50 Spl project, and see they go straight from a 350 to a 420. I have no experience with the .50 Spl so not sure if the 420 is over doin it in that case or not. I used to have a pile of 405 LFN or LFNGC but shot em up. Anybody know where to buy 400 grain LFN now?

The only other thing I could find was Hunter's Supply offers a 420gn with their slick coat bullet lube.  www.hunters-supply.com/511-500-linb-420-p-2864.htmlRimrock has heavier options. The MBW 350 isn't a bad looking bullet and might work great in the 50 special. |

Brian,
Stay light as you’ll use up all your powder capacity with the heavier bullets and change any load data you may start with significantly. If you want a .500 Linebaugh, buy one but that’s not what a .50 Special was meant for. Plenty of power with a 350 at 800-900 fps.
I got ‘Blind Pig Lucky” and found an older NEI mold a couple months ago for the 350gr round nose bullet Ben Forkin designed for the .50 special when he and Hamilton first started building them. I even got him to send me one of the original bullets to check and yep…it’s the one. Thinking that bullet isn’t worth a damn for hunting but it’s very accurate and old school cool.
