If you have any Rainier Ballistics plated 335gr flat Point bullets, could you measure and give diameter ?

Have unmarked bullets, pretty sure they are the rainier 335gr, but measure .501"

Not sure if the .001 matters.
Want to load for 500 mag (light loads), and have a LEE fcd die to crimp em good since they have no cannelure.

Thanks,

You should be fine. I have some of the same bullets that mic the same. I bought them for my 50AE Desert Eagle and also shoot them in my S&W 500. They're plated and made to shoot a lead velocities.

Thanks OC - Tried calling Ranier, had to leave them a message. Then called Sierra. They said no problem. Loaded and already dispensed downrange ! Worked great w/ a little titegroup.

Just had 50, think I traded some 45/70 bullets had been sent to me by mistake for them.
