Lloyd, I'm not registered with the Castboolits bunch, (yet), any idea of an approximate cost for one of these?  I've had a lot better luck with their 6 cavity molds than the 2 cav.  Also wouldn't Lee be more likely to do it with their FN profile they already sell?  That one shoots great out of my FA.  Thanks.

There going to run between 60-70 bucks depending on how many are ordered. this isnt a lee design the guys on that forum design there own molds and have lee cut them in 6cavity blocks. This one will be a true keith design. The round flat lee is a good shooting bullet. If it had deaper lube groves and a deaper crimp grove it would be one of my favorite .475 bullets.

Lloyd, I hear you on the need for deeper crimp grooves on the Lee bullets.  I only use their round flat for 1,000 fps. or under plinker loads in my .475.  I did have to buy 3 to get one that was reasonably round, but when I did it shot great for me.  That price seems pretty reasonable to me, whats involved in getting in on the deal?  Thanks.
