what's your ugliest bullet design?

[JonB]

I haven't cast with this Lee 365-95-1R for several years, I forgot how ugly this bullet is.
Previously, I had only Tumble lubed these (unsized) for my SIL. Somewhere along the line,
I had Lathesmith make a Star die in .366 which was a good call, as these are .366 x .367
so I set up the Star for these today, and the die just kind of squares things up.

OK I have a NOE 170 Grain Gas Checked Ranch Dog 326" mould For my 8 mm GEW 98
My first attempt at removing the gas check went bad and ended up with a too deep .328" base
So I call it the "ugly dog"! But when I resize it to .326" it shoots fantastic ......but it looks ugly!

I don't many ugly bullets, but I got a rifle I have to keep hid under a towel to shoot it at the range.

Makarov bullets are kinda short, squatty, and ugly. My RCBS .365-100-RN looks like a roundball with one end flattened--homely as can be.

Popper, Ugly bullets and women need love too.

Ugly is as ugly does. For me its the Lee short .54 cal. R.E.A.L. bullet. Never could get them to shoot worth a tinker's damn out of any of my three .54 cal. muzzleloaders. The longer 385gr. R.E.A.L. does just fine. So my ugly bullet is that short LEE.

I have a short, squat 45 B+M that is sort of a RFN. Not real attractive or sexy, but it shoots good and the mould is gorgeous. I can live with that!

There are no ugly one's -----just some are prettier than other's

Some bullets are ugly. I don’t believe I own a mould for any of them.

Now a real question, what is your best looking bullet or loaded cartridge?

I am fond of the shape of the 30-06, and am particularly fond of it's name. I mean, thirty aught six, what's not to love about that?
I guess my fav bullet for it, would be the tapered nose 30 SIL 180gr (MP).

Beauty in 30-06......Lee C309-200 bore rider (Bruce B Soft Point) at 2000 FPS, pushed by the throaty BOOM of 60.0 grains of WC-860. 1-1/4" to 1-1/2" at 100 yards, all day long. Whelen was right--"The 30-06 is never a mistake."

The ugliest bullets are incoming bullets.

I don't have a lot of different rifle calibers, but if rifle brass were to be compared to bathing beauties or sexy movie starlets, the .30-'06 would be on the cover or at the top of the marquee.

AMEN Brother, AMEN!!!!

 

[RBHarter]

Beauty in the eye ...... Nothing against the 06' everyone should have one .
The slightly over tapered 7×57 shares the proportions and the 280 carries on in that long stemmed look without the loss of flow like the Swede does .

I wish the proportions of the .260-120 FP NOE were carried on up the caliber list , although the .270-140 isn't bad .

 

[Brad]

I prefer a nice 405 cast bullet in a 45-70 or a good swc of WFN in a 44 special or mag
