The cleaning jag I use already somewhat works as a loading tip with its concave head to keep the head of bullets in a nice consistent aerodynamic shape instead of just mushrooming them but is there anything better? I personally use Lee REAL 380 grain 54 cal conicals.

Coat a bullet with a couple of coats of good quality wax....

Put a drop of epoxy in the end of the jag and set the bullet nose down in the end of the jag and let dry overnight.

Pop the bullet out and the jag will now have the perfect nose profile.
