One problem with both, is weight to length of bullet.

I probably should have mentioned that I was thinking more of a handgun bullet, .454 Casull and .45 Colt, as opposed to our beloved 450-B. Something more for short range, low velocity, high impact penetration for piggies in lead free zones. The hollow points from Barnes are fine, but so much of the length is taken up by the huge tea cup hollow point, i figured you could get a heavier bullet for the same size by just filling in the hole with more copper. With the wide flat nose you get all of Tim's killing power and yet you'd still be able to eat right up to the hole.
I see Barnes makes all of their 45's .4505", I assume to account for the harder material, do you think I should add a groove or two as well like the Barnes 275gr?

The Barnes folks had to quit making their wonderful solid "Keith" style pistol bullets because of that bit of chicanery the dems. pulled. Better check the specifics of the law to avoid crossing the invisible line.
