Anyone know the seating depth of these for the 500 Linebaugh

Playing around on mountainmolds designer and specs are scant. I know it’s a .38 meplat with .4 nose, so I assume .6ish cannelure to base? I’ve read they come out 540gr checked and lubed, so I imagine that’s my target weight. I wonder if extending the nose will help. Bfr short cylinder is 1.9 so maybe .48” nose is reasonable?

Want to make a pb boolit for hopefully a bfr 500L someday soon, been giddy ever since I heard bfr is making them.

Why not just buy the gun and have a mold made to your specs?
