There is also a 575213PH which has a shallow cavity to bump up the weight. Works well in Parker Hale (and similar) P58/56 guns with 1:48 twist.

Another trick to try is to use the lube on your minie to stick a single thickness of absorbent paper to it. Toilet paper, paper towel, nose wipers, whatever. Try the thickest that will still go down the barrel cleanly without the paper getting displaced during loading. Sometimes that is a means of adjusting the bullet to your barrel and you don't have to go through the rigamarole of paper patching and then sizing to your barrel. When the skirt expands the lube just presses through the paper and does what it's 'sposed to.
Worth a try if the only alternative is spending more money.
