Casting bullets for cowboy and hunting?

Ok this is aimed at TMR, but everybody PLEASE feel free to jump in. I have been looking at buying a set of custom cast molds, and there is alot of info I do not know.

Questions.

Got any websites devoted to this? (I am mainly interested in 45LC, but any info is helpful.)

What do you know about the following.

Bullet Design.
Crimp type.
Bullet diameter.
Front band top and bottom diameter (to taper or not to taper)
Front band Length.
Nose Length.
Weight.
Metplat (percentage)
Base (again to bevel or not to bevel)
Grove to band length ratio.
Grove angle.

Etc.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
