Default Alco Bullets

Came across these last night:
http://outdoorshootersupply.com/30-C...Tail_p_16.html
Probably like everything else, made in the states, and never get over the border.
Or has anyone a dealer up here?
Has anybody used them?
Ive heard Lapua makes a similar boatail?
If nothing else, they sure look cool. Not cheap though

Yes! Thank You!
I came across these last night as well. I didnt realize they were in Canada.
Hopefully he sees this thread. I cant pm anybody yet. lol
Do you load these?
How do these boatails affect pressure and loads?
Id imagine I can use data for the same weights starting low?

Yes, as with any load development start low and work up. Use data for a comparable weight bullet. Don't think there is any special considerations anyway.

He makes excellent bullets. I have used them in a variety of calibers. No issues at all. He is difficult to contact though.

Pm him here - DaleJ or go to a gun show. He does have a table at most I think.
