They weigh 375gr and further testing will show if they will hold together good enough too bee used on some moose or if it is target practice they are destined for

Thanks for all the kind remarks :)
The cartridge is 425 Westley Richards and they are made whith Corbin dies on a S-press. A good tumbling with stainless steel media made them look this nice.

They should work as good or better than the Woodleigh bullets. That nice solid base should help in the event of close in shots. I do love the WR series.

Just curious what the shape is on the bullets. Are they about a 1.5E?

They are 1E if my memory serves me right

Mathias,
Dude, we need more, more photos. Loaded rounds, the rifle they are for (of course), and the range results.

They are as good as I have seen anywhere on the net.
