Lee 452-300-RF design change?

[yondering]

Looking for some input from any of you that have purchased Lee's C452-300-RF mold recently. I found some old threads stating that the 6 cavity mold had a more rounded nose with a smaller flat, but those threads were a couple years old. Just wondering if any of you guys have purchased this mold lately (2 or 6 cavity) and if it looks like the picture, or more rounded? I'm interested in this mold as a WFN style hunting bullet, so I want the large flat nose.

[475/480]

I got this mould last year (6 cav) and the nose is a big WFN and with my WW is weighs 315gr.

Thanks guys. Can you tell me what the meplat diameter is? Regarding the nose profile, is it similar to Lee's 452-250-RF shown on the left (meplat dia. .325") or is it closer to the Beartooth 280gr WFN shown on the right (meplat .370")?

I have heard the crimp grooves have been made more shallow and are proving somewhat problematic.
