RE: What's the best nose shape for long range shooting?
Jim If I was to post all the moulds and bullets they cast I would get kicked off this forum for taking up to much band space LOL.

In all reality if I was to have only one bullet it would be with the paper patched postell ogive. You don't need a fast twist or 200 grains of powder behind it to keep it stable over it's entire distance you want to shoot it.
If you noticed when Dan T started to take the Jacketed HP bullet designs and put GG on them cast with lead the trend with faster twist barrels showed up to keep them stable at long ranges. I have a drawer full of the money bullet and elliptical moulds both GG and PP and I have rifles with 1/16, 1/17, 1/18 and 1/19 ROT's and in all of those twists the postell type ogives have proved out the best at all ranges.
I'm not just a now and then shooter, I used to go through 4-5 cases of powder a year except for the last two years health has been working on me were I'm down to less then two cases a year, but I have shot all these bullets with the .40, .44, .45 and the 50 calibers in cases of low to high volume in powder capacity and it's hard to outdo the postell or the other in the picture below. Just take off the rumble strips. Smile
And than comes the John boat but that is for filling the freezer or busting bowling pins Smile
