Maybe an LBT OWC
Or there was some talk of a sldgehammer boolit.

Similar, but not quite exactly, to the buffalo bore anti-personnel wadcutter. Not quite the LBT ogive either..... someone will figure it out soon.

Looks a lot like the old H&G #11 WC bullet.

Tom at Accurate Molds makes several that have that profile. Check page 3 of his catalogue on his web site. Various weights from 155 and up.

Looks like the Hensley I recently acquired,
Good fillout using straight WW at 675º-700º
weighing 149 gr. and measuring .358" base and bands,
and a whomping .350 on the nose (if you can call it that ?)

I have an old Ideal SC #360344 that looks just like that when seated and crimped. Very interesting design, not designed to be seated flush as most WC designs are. I like it. Mine drops large enough to work very well in 38 S&W and can be sized to fit tight 38/357 chambers.

Looks like a heck of a bullet. I am partial to big flat front ends. I didn't know H&G made one like that.
