Please find attached a report that one of our better shooters did for me on your 148g DEWC 38cal.

They performed excellently comparing the results against other cast projectiles including my own, cast and sized for my .357 686 with a hand lapped Listener barrel. Your projectiles were loaded in new Lapua cases, 3.2g Bullseye, the projectiles were seated to the last lube ring with a very slight taper crimp. The pistol was hand held on a sand bag at 25 metres. All projectiles were well inside the 10 ring, with three 30cal patches covering the 10 holes. I checked my barrel after 10 shots and there was no fowling at all. I fired another 10 shots and still there was no fowling. At this stage the second group was tighter than the first 10 rounds, I could not believe it. I noticed that all projectiles had very small sprue markings and the o/d of each projectile measured 1-1.2 thou larger than my own hand cast projectiles. Before loading I marked each projectile with a marking pen and spun them in a bowl of mercury. Each time the projectile was spun it stopped with the line in a different spot which indicated each projectile is of uniform consistency. Overall I am very impressed with these projectiles. When cleaning my pistol I found no signs of the lube inside the barrel or in the compensator.

158g SWC 38cal - these projectiles were very good in shape except for the sprue mark. There is a noticeable mark "rough spot" at this point which I think caused a slight increase in group size over the 148g DEWC. I found that the groups opened up sometimes to cut the 10 ring instead of being well within the 10 ring at 25 metres. I tried these projectiles with several pet loads and in three of my 357's with all groups being very similar. I found no improvement in group sizes over the three different brands of projectiles I use in these guns. However when it came time to clean these guns there was no comparison, your projectiles left me with spotless barrels and it took no time to clean them. Overall I would be very pleased to use these projectiles as they are, but you could possible improve the sprue mark as per the other projectiles you make. I am being very fussy here I hope you understand.

93g BNWC 32cal - these projectiles were used only in my Walther so far. I loaded them into new Lapua cases with 1.2g of N310 The projectiles were seated flush with the case top and I had a very slight taper crimp. These projectiles shot exceptional group, however I think if I reduced the load to 1 grain, I think the group would be a one holes at 25 metres. The bore had no residue at all, cleaning was almost not necessary. If I can get these projectiles here in Sydney I would scrap my current supply. Overall opinion from our club is "Very Impressive" when can we get them.

Thank you and kind regards,Stephen
