Yep, a nice flat nose meplat does most of the work almost as effectivly as a hollow point i believe. I shoot my 3030 exclusivly now with cast bullets, the lee 170 grain flat point over 9 grains of bluedot works a treat and chronied at an average of 1100fps. And my original trapdoor still occasionally speaks with authority on game with a 405 and black powder. I cant see what ive hit till the smoke clears so dont need a second shot
