Good luck on the hunt! I'm predicting a successful test.
TEZ or TMZ? TEZ has a flat base, TMZ is the boattail.

It would be nice if someone were to make a veggie type wad that would conform to the boattail design of the TMZ on one side but flat on the bottom (powder) side. The boattail would really help the BC.
How about it Kyle? An AeroMaxx with a boattail and conforming wad! I think you would hit a "home run!"
OR.....................................make it similar to a brass/copper "gas check!" Just bevel the inside to conform to the boattail base of the bullet. It would seem like a "no brainer" to punch these out of sheet copper?

claymanjack,
Did you use a smooth form die or full form to size the bullets? Did you try any without sizing?
