That surprises me. Essentiallly all the SAECO longer rifle bullets have a truncated conical nose. I was
convinced that it couldn't be a SAECO, and the nose is so identical to RCBS's standard shape that it had me
totally fooled.

Well, I blew that one. Never was good at guessing the mould. Might be due to a lack of moulds in my collection?

Let's suppose they're all 7mm :)

The first one is an RCBS 168 SIL
The second one is likely a Lyman 287641, depending on the cherry they used that week.
The third one is a Saeco #070
The fourth one is a ???, but of exquisite quality, possibly an LBT designed by our bearded friend from NZ.
The fifth one is an RCBS 145 SIL
The last one is a Saeco #281.
