    Round nose flat point boolits?

    Who makes LBT design 160 gr RNFP boolits?

    I have also heard good things about a 147gr 9mm RNFP boolit loaded in 38 Spl.-357 Magnum brass at 38 +P or a smidge higher velocity. I think I am going to try both, if I can find them. Question is, is the Meplat any bigger than a standard SWC ?

    I shoot a 147 grain truncated cone 9mm design sized to .358" in my 357 revolvers at 1,000 fps. While it doesn't have the flat meplat that you want, I can say that the weight is certainly usable and it is very accurate and pleasant to shoot. Without a crimp groove in the 9mm design, I apply a light roll crimp just over the beginning of the ogive to secure the bullet in the case.
    Keep your powder dry,
