TC or Keith for 45 revo/ 1911 design question

[Makicjf]

Howdy!,
I am really interested in a 245 grain TC or Keith that will function in my 1911 and 45 acp revolvers. I *think* a 75% meplat truncated cone would be best, as one of this bullets jobs would be fast reloads in moonclips for IPSC. The 260 grain RCBS keith hangs up if I don't focus. It will also be a field carry my 1911 ( which feeds keith bullets well). The TC 454 bullet your program designed looks great. I just adjusted nose length until the program excepted a 75% meplat weighing about 245 grains. Do you think it will be stable to 100 yards from a 4 inch revolver and a 5 inch 1911? I know what I "want", but do not have the knowledge or experience to know if what looks good will actually work!
Thank you sir!

The stability of short, blunt bullets is hard to predict, normal stability formulas for rifles do not apply. So in other words, I don't know the answer to your question. It's basically trial and error.

However, I've always had acceptable results with a 75% meplat in revolver bullets.
