Several commercial casters offer the Lyman 429421, the "Keith" bullet. Beartooth Bullets is one for certain. Beartooth Bullets Secure Online Shopping
Yeah, they are listed as 250 grain, but cast bullets are rarely exactly the nominal weight.

I have been looking for the same item.
Have plenty SWCs.
Want round nose ones.

The difference in performance of bullet weights from 240 to 250 grains is really pretty minor. It's even smaller between 245 and 250. So the Beartooth Keith bullet should prove pretty satisfactory for you. BTW, I contacted Remington about the availability of their 246 LRN as a component, and was told it was "not listed". If you want a RN, you'll likely have to find a Lyman/Ideal 429251 or 429383 (nominally 250 & 240 resp.) or other make equivalent mould and cast your own.
Happy shooting,

Jimmy it sounds like you are reloading 44 spl ? 44spl for many years used a round nose cast bullet . Lyman sells a full round nose 246 gr mold . Maybe if you purchase the mold then ask a friend to cast them . Just a thought .
Matt's Bullets sells RN cast bullets made from Lyman mold 429383, .430 diameter, 248 grain nominal weight. Reloads with this bullet reproduce the appearance of factory loads.
