NEI 458-425?

Anyone ever seen this bullet? Loaded it?  Looks like a boat tail cast .458....odd.

They have a great BC, but accuracy is usually lousy.

Why would that be?  Does the boattail outgas?  I've never seen a cast boat tail before....They sell the mold (I checked NEI's site).

I've shot a lot of these.  Worked very well.
