Thank you Glen. I was hoping you would weigh in.

The question came up because I am looking at a mold for a BIG wadcutter. I am intrigued by it but got to wondering if it would shoot. This mold casts a .458" 500gr WC. Assuming it will stabilize, I'm guessing it will poleaxe a hog (ya think?). There is a gas check shank on each end so that may provide a bit of a vestigial 'nose'. Similarly shaped is the Woodleigh "Hydrostatically Stabilized" bullet. That, however has a more pronounced nose. Their computer generated video clearly shows, and promotes, the bow wave. I may have to give it a go. Worst case is another mold gathering dust.
