Way back when Casull introduced their new .454 I bought one, and with it a Lyman mould they offered in TC. The literature stated that the TC was a superior hunting shape over the SWC or RNFP.

All these years later, I own virtually every shape possible but I like the TC and the RNFP and the SWC with almost equal measure.

I load a 230g TC for the .45acp and I swear by it. I use a 255g RNFP for the .45colt and it seems right somehow. The .44 mag gets a 265g GCSWC and there it is correct.

Bottom line for me is the metplat. All I shoot is cast, so a monolithic solid with a big flat front end is the winning feature, no matter the ogive shape.
