Freight will kill you ... but bought locally the 50s are dirt cheap bargains as are his 585" pills at $80 per 100! Very thick jacket, same as what he uses for his 50BMG pills. Available in 440gr, 535gr and 570gr. No bonding or anything fancy, just a thick jacket around a lead core.

Not a criticism but rather a by-product of the old machinery he uses to make pills ... the heel is full diameter but they will taper to be undersized forward of that heel. This has caused me issues in crimping his 35cal and 45cal pills as at the cannelure they may be 0.002" undersized. If the heel of the projectile extends below the neck in your cartridge then you may have trouble holding them in place. After trying them I now understand why so many old cartridges had long necks ... it helps secure projectiles in place!

But ... they shoot!
Cheers...
