Sir Spruce,
Your 0.285" meplat is 62% of caliber, plenty good, about ideal !
Sir Bill Bagwell said even the small FN meplats are helpful on impact.
Accurate Molds makes only FN meplats and the smallest they make is what, 0.180" ? About 39 % of caliber for a .458.
Smaller meplat does offer better BC and better feeding possibly.
It is a trade off.
If velocity is higher and impact medium harder, they all turn into big FN meplats !
