I noted this past range trip that some of my 170 grn WFN .45 cal bullets were beginning to keyhole at 15 yds.
I'm not sure if this is in part due to them being so short (.400") or if speed also had something to do with it as I was using 30 grns of 3F Triple 7 through my 5.5" Remington.
I'll be trying some more next time I cast up enough and get back out there.
I'm wondering if I were to hollow point it, making the rear much heavier, would help stabilize them better.
Here's the bullet:
