Hi guys, long term lurker, and I don't cast a lot, but I have searched for an answer to this and not found much, so I thought I would ask the brains trust.
Mold in question is a Lee 200 grain RN, and rifle in question is a 30-06.
The thought behind this question is to try to add a meplat to the round nose bullet to make it a better hunting projectile.
Would it work? and if so is this the best way to do it?
I have read a lot on the use of softer alloys and higher velocities, but I'm thinking that a little meplat can't hurt, and I would like to throw the heaviest bullet I can.
thanks in advance

ps my casting experience is limited to a couple of original Ranch Dog molds for my 45/70 :bigsmyl2:, but this 30 cal stuff is new to me.
