I didn't know NOE was copying the RCBS mold.
either way the rcbs only needs 219 right in front of the drive band to align things, it isn't a bore ride bullet so it doesn't rely on the nose to do most of the work.
it just needs that diameter up there to help ride the funnel letting the back end find it's way in.
I used that same diameter and taper for the HM-2 mold but strengthened the area right there a bit more.
