I'm trying to set up for casting bullets for the 500 Linebaugh. The bullet I want to cast is the 460 grain Keith Style semi wad cutter with gas check. MBW sells the bullets I want to make and states they use a LBT mould. I'm looking for the mould number and anything else I would need to mould, lube, and size this bullet. Thanks

I would contact Veral Smith directly for the information on this specific mold.

As for lube many swear by his tried and true, LBT Blue.

I would also recommend looking into the WFN 525, It has been the proven performer for the 500 Linebaugh, both terminally and on the range.

Thinking of just buying the bullets already cast, sized, and lubed. Having trouble finding a supplier. I'm looking for a 430- 440 gr LFN GC cast bullet in .512. Any ideas.

Call Bryan Reece. He does a lot of casting for Linebaugh
765-541-8584. Leave him a message and he will call you back. Very nice guy and has excellent pricing if I remember correctly.

Veral can make the mold how you want it. Seasons and Glenn have given you great advise here. Now start raiding the local tire shops for wheel weights!

Long term I want to cast my own boolits. I'm new to reloading and for now if I can find the bullet I'm looking for that can be purchased that's where I'll start.
