Sir Bevan, Hard to understand that nose projection thing but understand we must. The 400-gr/.458 with 0.750" NP might out-do the 400-gr/.458 with 0.650" NP ... Hoping to find that with a lot of help from MIB and CEB.
When CEB specifies a Nose Projection for the brass FN solids at their web site that includes the width of the leading band (about 0.050") I do believe. So a 0.650" NP has 0.600" smooth length from meplat to start of first band. A 0.460" NP has 0.410" smooth length. The 0.750" NP would be slick for the first 0.700", same as on the 450-gr/.458 Safari Solid.
Slick length + band width = Nose Projection.
