Because the base is on the back end it contributes absolutely nothing for expansion(unless loaded backwards ! The front profile on a cast bullet expands with pure and hardness dictates rate of expansion along with distance /speed.
A flat nose is preferred in my case for max expansion at BP speeds (no gas check) , a deer hit with a Lyman Plains ,pick the calibers (I have them all) and adjusting alloy at your proffered yardage becomes fairly predictable Bang/flop ! Unlike the hollow base (have them too) that depends on charge to flair base(engage rifling) and thickness of skirt another variable to contend with (lousy SD 's)if you have a chrono) . In short great if your hunting indians and need fast reloads , but not so much trying to increase the fast food take (deer) Ed
Thanks for the information. I don't want nor need any more variables.
