Bullet Nose Profiles

[Kurt]

I like to fool around with different types of bullets, always have. That full wadcutter photo came around when I was swaging cores for the Metford nosed .45 PP bullets and I wondered how they would shoot through a rifle. I used .38 spl full wad cutter loads in my .38 Master pistol and the .38 1911 gold cup with great accuracy.
I swaged a bunch and patched them to fit the .450 bore and shot a bunch. Now It's been a while since I shot those and I cant remember if I shot them on the 200 yard range or here on my 135 yard range but the bench in the picture is on my front porch but I clean my rifles on that bench when I get home.
But regardless if I shot them on my range at 135 yards I cant argue looking at those 10 shots with the holes cut like they were cut with a paper punch and that tight of a group. Those cores are most likely 1.5" long. what I used for the Metford bullet that was 1.45" long swaged from those cores.
