The boolits on the X39s weigh 152 grains. I cast them from a mold that I have modified to drop bullets at .313" diameter. They are gas checked and sized to .312" for my rifle. The mold was originally the Lee C309-150-F. The alloy is 7:3 Wheel weight:Linotype with a BHN of 14. They look extra long and heavy because of the flat nose and I seat them out so far for my Remington Spartan single shot rifle. LOA is 2.130" These are not for a semi-auto, but tailored to the Spartan chamber for a deer hunting load.
