Couldn’t get the link to work. I bet they are expensive! Not sure what load data you would need to use, brass is significantly harder than lead.

They are solid copper cnc machined and said to have exacting tolerances which would make them consistently stable. I would imagine it would be fairly soft alloy of copper. Lehigh defense solid match series

I used to have a Ruger No1 in .300 WM and tried Barnes bullets. Solid copper hollow point. That rifle did not like those! It shot 180 gr Speer Grand Slams the best with 82 gr of H1000.

I found the link working as long as I copy/paste to my browser (firefox). Lets see if this works? |

Quick 'n dirty machine translation. "Match Solid
Match Solid technology uses unique processes to deliver the highest levels of repeatability. While traditional jacketed bullets are produced on multi-stage stamping machines comprised of dies, with each combination of stage and die producing a slightly different bullet, we machine our bullets on state-of-the-art CNC machines to produce incredibly precise tolerances and eliminate manufacturing. changes.

Just make sure you have load data for solid brass bullets, they will produce different pressures for the same weight lead core jacketed bullets. Lead is much softer than brass.

Yes it is. These are an attempt to pls the environmentalist lobby against the use of lead. |

These are a new option at my local Armoury.
Cheaper than the SMK's. I have enough ogives at the moment; but might be tempted to try these. Providing reliable load data is available. I was curious to know if any of you had experience with them.

Yikes!!! I paid $90 for 500 Speer TNTs which shoot like a laser out to 300 yds. Use these in my M1 and 03A3, also shoot good in my DCRA No. 4 7.62. |

That's a lot of money to pay for a .303 projectile considering the accuracy of a Lee Enfield. To rich for my blood...
