Casting bullets

Am I to gather from some of the responses that round nose bullets would be more succesful in my gun than other bullet configurations, such as flat top or truncated cone etc.?

Also since I am new at casting, is this a way of keeping it simple at the beginning?
 
plaz,
truncated cone designs may possibly have issues with feeding, but i've had nothing but good luck with them in s&w, star, ruger and browning models for both feeding and accuracy.

round-nose bullets performed well, too...take your pick. i just received a 6-cavity lee tumble lube round-nose design...i believe i ordered the truncated cone version, but it really makes no difference.

A six cavity mould, whether iron or aluminum, when poured is heavy. Personally I find a sixer tiring to use for long stretches. A two cavity is easier to hold and use, and, I'll betcha, after an hour of casting you will be about the same in numbers of bullets cast with a 2-er as a 6-er. And, the twos are much less expensive.
