    Here's an interesting 45 cal, what do you suppose it is for?

    http://www.accuratemolds.com/bullet_...=45-295P-D.png



    That's not a bore riding nose, that is full diameter. What do you suppose is the purpose?

    Sit in the throat of a revolver for a perfect launch?
    Stabilize the front of the boolit like shooting a straight cylinder without excessive driving band?
    Black powder shooting, with a fat grease groove that sits outside the case?
    Something else?

    What do you think?

    Perhaps for a muzzle loader?

    WOuld need the dimensions to know for sure if its bore riding or full bore on the nose band. I saw a similar desighn on another mold makers web site they were bore ride on the nose band. May not be a pistol boolet but a rifle bullet. I have seen that desighn before but cant remeber where now

    Reduction of bearing surface and increased velocity. Do a search for both Herter's and Niedner wasp-waist bullets. I don't know if they were ever "the rage", but they were a thing for a while.

    I'm not the most knowledgeable, but I think that's for a paradox revolver. One that is part smooth bore and partly rifled so you can shoot shot through it.
