Go 'head, ask me how I know! 
And to Venom: "Ain't that the truth!" I have a round nose mould problem. Well, a round nose Lee Aluminum 6 cavity mould problem to be exact. I have to have that puppy really hot, super clean, every time or I get wrinkles till who tied um, or whotiteum or how every you say that!
I seldom take pictures of my mistakes but, hey, maybe Bob will set a new trend!

my pet source of frustration is that Lyman 525 grain 12 Ga slug. brilliant projectile, dont get me wrong. When its good its great but you have to earn it.
problem one is the fill out at the base of the skirt.
being kinda thin here its hard to keep heat there for a proper fill out. Problem two is right at the tip of the base pin where a void loves to form.
Poor skirt fill and it cants in the wad, often times enough to cause it to tumble.
the void has only a slight effect on accuracy but if its a business load, its a weak joint between head and skirt where it fragments ...
the cull rate out of this one is right around 20%
