That Accurate mold I'm planning on doesn't have a very wide meplat . That shouldn't be a problem as the cast bullets won't be my primary hunting or game bullet. However with enough practice I should be able to fill the freezer . Learning the trajectory of both a bp equivalent velocity and a high velocity loads . Should be enough for my memory banks. Would be fun doin it semi Old School.
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 !
