A lot of 44 and 45 caliber pistol bullets are sort of squatty-bodied. E.g., Lyman's # 454424 Keith-type SWC, I have two of these--a one-cav Ideal and a 2-cav Lyman. Both produced castings of about 255 grains in 92/6/2 alloy, but they still look squatty and short-for-caliber (to my eyes, at least). Both have the out-sized lube grooves favored by Uncle Elmer, and they still seem stubby.
Same story with the Lee 200 grain round flatnose in 44 caliber--it looks short for its width. Before I snagged SAECO #446, the Lee 200 served well in my 44/40 WCF loads; it has a small but adequate crimp groove, unlike Lyman #427098.
