A drawn metal bottom for a container having a central axis, a container wall, and a stand plane that is generally perpendicular to the central axis, comprising:

• a generally convex first transitional member extending from the container wall generally toward the central axis;
• a generally frustoconical peripheral member extending from the first transitional member in the direction of the central axis, the peripheral member being oriented at an angle from about 58° to about 63° relative to the central axis;
• a second transitional member extending from the peripheral member, the second transitional member being generally concave;
• a generally frustoconical outer leg member extending from the second transitional member;
• a nose member extending from the outer leg member, the nose member being generally convex and having a generally semicircular cross-section;
• a generally frustoconical inner leg member extending upwardly and outwardly from the nose member;
• a third transitional member extending from the inner leg member, the third transitional member being generally concave;
• and
• a domed center panel extending from the third transitional member and that intersects the central axis, the apex of the central panel being at a height between about 0.435 inches to about 0.460 inches above the stand plane.
