I was talking about the automated machines. Many of the molds made are designed for use in them.
A square shoulder in the grooves gives better balance to the bullet,and allows more lube to be in the groove. It also allows the lube to smear off more consistently in the barrel than a beveled one. That is what I have found in shooting 1000s of rounds, experimenting constantly, and reading incessantly.
If the beveled grooves were best, Elmer, in his experiments,of which he preformed a lot of, would have had no problem incorporating it in his design. But he was adiment (bad spelling but cant get it right) about the square grooves. I believe he was right.
Why did you put bevels on your bullet? A simple cut off tool made to the correct thickness would have cut the grooves cheaply for your cherry. Making the beveled grooves must have been time consuming for the tool maker/machinist.
