Lee makes a 50 Beowulf die... though I don't see it specifically on Lee's own site

Hi, I have a Beowulf and have been reloading it for some time.
I like the Hornaday 350 Gr hollow points, Remington makes a 385 Gr but it is rather long, and the OAL makes it prone to hang in the mag. Many of the bullets are for the 500 S/W but keep in mind if you use them that the cannelure will not line up right for those that have one.
It is a fun round and a blast to shoot (pun intended

.
Have fun,
RGUARD.
