I notice a lot of the cast lead bullets out there are semi-wadcutters. How well do these feed in a semi-auto like a SIG? My concern is the step just below the cone. Wouldn't the step increase the tendency for misfeeds, as opposed to a truncated cone or a flat found nose which have nothing for the feed ramp to catch on?
