I have a Noe 360-232-RF-U5 mold with a nice and wide meplat. I believe it is a copy of the Ranch Dog design? Anyway, it drops a beautiful 232 grain slug that I was hoping to use in my 358 win, but you guessed it, the meplat is too wide to feed properly. I really like the looks of the bullet and am still tempted to use it this year. Cast soft (12ish bhn), powdercoated, and pushed to 1800-1900 fps or so should make a superb whitetail killer to 150 yards or so. Just curious if anybody has limited themselves to single shot before (using a non single shot gun) and if you had any regrets. I am a stand hunter, and wait for deer to come by. Pa woods, longest possible shot may be 75 yards. Often only 1 shot is all I need, but last year I shot at and missed a doe, and the shot made the other deer head in different directions. When they split i saw a decent buck, and was fortunate enough to connect with him. Had I had a single shot, I am not sure I could have reloaded quickly enough to get another shot. Or if I had, I am afraid all that extra movement would have helped the deer pinpoint me. As it was, they had no idea where I was, which helped get the second shot off. So dumb idea? I am also thinking that if I knew I had one shot, it may make me be extra careful on the first.
Edit to add.. I do also have a RCBS 35-200 mold that I am able to get to about 2 1/2 inches at 100 yards, app 2100 fps. It is an option to use that as well, and that one feeds ok. Was just wanting a bit heavier bullet.
