Looking for a source of lightweight (115-120grn) lead bullets suitable for .303 British. Any suggestions apart from casting my own?

The issue with all commercial cast bullets is that they are far to hard for optimum performance and usually only available in sizes too small for use in most firearms.

ShellHouse do a .32 in 100gr, sized at either .312 or .314

Bit of a wait, my current order took 3 months to deliver.
I'm trying some polymer coated .309 175gr in my 300BLK, first tests were not great with a few fliers :(
