so i am trying to get into casting my own bullets. i am looking over everything i will need and trying to price it out. anyways i was looking at the molds for .45 and there are the lee molds with either 1 ogive or 2 ogive. i want reliability and as close to factory shape as i can get with cast bullets. my question is which ogive radius would give me more of a factory 230 FMJ shape 1 or 2 ogive? i'm thinking 2 ogive but i oculd be wrong this is new to me so ya. i will be shooting them out of a kimber custom II. also if you have any input on needed equipment for casting or have any good links to get started and maybe a list of essential supplies that owuld be much appreciated. thanks guys

Does it have to be a 230gn RN?
I get top performance and accuracy with the RCBS 452-201-SWC. This bullet is slightly more accurate than my REAL H&G #68 mold. Next, any of the 200gn L-SWC molds perform better for me than a 230gn RN. If you have to get a RN, then a Lyman 452374--but how boring...Comment
