Hi All,

I’m trying to identify these boolits, and I’m hoping someone here will know what they are-and where to get some more. I’d also like to figure out what mold was used, and if possible what kind of alloy. In the event that I can’t get more, I’d like to make them myself. I already cast a little and I’m familiar with gas checks.

I ended up with this box of these in with some other stuff I bought at an estate auction. After trying them out, my 03’ Springfield really likes them with one of the “Universal Loads”. So I’d like to get some more of these.

There appears to be some kind of forum screen name on the label-but I have yet to be able to turn anything up on it. I’m pretty sure I looked around this site pretty carefully, but I didn’t see anyone by that screen name. I can’t think of any other site pertaining to boolits like this one.

If anyone knows anything about these, I’d really appreciate any info that you could pass along.

Thanks in Advance!

Looks like an old NEI .308-162-GC.

Could be a Lyman 311672. Could be the NEI mold above as well.

I've learned that you have to look pretty hard to find a boolit that doesn't do well in a '03.

Bill Wells, 22hornetfan sells either on E-bay or Gunbroker, I don't remember which. At least he did. I have a box or two of those which I would sell but you might check to see if he is still selling them.

Lee 309-170

It's not the Lee bullet, that one would be a flat point. I knew at one time, and think I remember it to be the Lyman Silhouette bullet but I'll dig mine out to confirm.

Sorry for the duplicate. The computer is acting strange this morning.

It is the Lyman 311672 Silhouette bullet. I have a part of a box from Bill and I also have the mold.

It looks like 22hornetfan is now someone named Brian Talbot. I am guessing Mr. Wells is no longer with us.
