The Ultimate Whisper Boolit.

I should have some cast in a couple of months, give me time for the mould to arrive, so I can let you have some of them then.

That looks very interesting and .311" cast is OK in a .308?

OOOH ! Big, heavy boolits, slow and 30 cal too ! We like it... We wonder how they might do in our AIA 7.62x39 carbine. Makes mental note to contact Dromia once the mould has been commissioned...

If you do decide to order these Davy, I'd buy 200 to boost the order.

Is there any advantage in the lapua over cast boolits for subsonic work ? We would have thought cast lead was quite adequate for subsonics...

I don't know, but I prefer to use jacketed bullets.
