Here are some 305gr bullets I received with my Ruger 454 several years ago.
Anyone able to tell me what mold these came out of??

Looks like a LFN ( long flat nose ) bullet from LBT ( lead bullet technoligy ) I have what seems to be almost the same bullet, except its 300 gr and only has 1 lube grove .
Perhaps you can match it up with the sampel bullet pictures on Beartooth Bullets
.

Aren't the lube grooves too square for an LBT? I know you aren't saying it is an LBT, just similar.

It looks similar to an LBT LFN, but both the crimp groove and grease grooves are different. Here's a picture of my LBT 300 grs LFN. You can't see it in the picture, but it has round grease grooves.
