Dave.

If I was to have just one mould in my drawer it would be like this old original creedmoor design at .444" in diameter cast with a base pour or a nose pour if the meplat was cut small. like a .125" hole in the prue plate.
I would suggest a Gibbs bullet that is very close to this in the photo but I dont think I would get it from KAL because of the large hole he uses in the sprue plate. I did get him to make a new plate for my elliptical bullet with a .120" hole and that solved all the fins and vent hairs and it is not temperature sensitive any more with all sorts of alloys. Rick makes a fine mould but it would be better with a different sprue plate in my opinion.
My bullet is a .4466 swaged it would not be to good for the standard Shiloh chamber unless you want to deep seat the bullet in the case. My chamber in the .45/2.4 has a long lead and it works very good deep seated or using a lead bullet chamber.
