I tried a 385 RN mould but kept going back to the Lee 405 HB in my Trapdoors. I just liked the flat nose of the Lee better for hunting. Not much there so far as velocity to start with so I figure the flat nose will impart a little more energy to a deer. I think I still have the Rapine 385 and two of the Lees.
Mr. Strayer,
That Lyman 457121-PH also has a flat nose, and, while not quite as large a flat nose as the 405 Gov bullet, it kills very, very well.
As a big believer in large meplats for striking effects, size
does matter!
