    As others have stated, the RCBS 45-230-RN is a very good choice. Shake-n-bake powder coated, then sized .452", it just works every time. Yes, it's plain Jane, but it's rock solid reliable.

    Yep, about the only way to get better reliability than the round nose is to get a revolver.

    If you want to have a better energy stacking profile on the front end then change the tip of that most reliable round nose while preserving the rest of its silhouette. That way interchanging pins let you have either wide flat noses or hollow points that behave like drag chutes, good to go for paper, hard or soft targets.
