Dale Woolum of Charlottesville, VA has made and markets custom bullets for bench rest shooting. In particular, he makes a flat based 187 grain bullet with a very high BC, higher than any VLD or boattail bullet of similar weight. I asked him how difficult it would be to make the same bullet in .312" diameter instead of .308". His answer, not difficult at all.



The cost would be $635/1000, the same cost as for his .308s. However, he is not willing to go to the time and trouble of making a new .312" bullet die unless there is sufficient interest.

So, how many of you die hard Lee Enfield shooters would be interested enough to spend that kind of money? If someone can help me figure out how to insert a simple YES/NO poll into this thread that captures the numbers I'd much appreciate it.

If a 174 grain flat base bullet would be of more interest I can check into that as well.

Oh, and the bullet is optimized for a 1 in 12" twist.
