What happens when a boolit is slightly wider than it is long? Will this cause problems?
I ask because I'm trying to design a cast boolit to more closely match the POI of a ball. My rifle was originally regulated to fire a ball over black powder in a cartridge. I have since developed a smokeless load firing a conical, but the conical is longer/heavier leading to a higher POI. I would like to develop a smokeless load using a smaller/lighter conical to duplicate the balls performance.
My thoughts are to shave 0.1" off the nose of this design:

What are your thoughts? Thank you
