I believe they are hardcast.

Says it all really, hardcast cast bullets is an oxymoron.

I've seen them listed here and there, Hannams used to/may still do them. Personally for the 44 I use the 200gr GM bullets from Kranks which are very consistent or get them from DodgyRoger.

For smaller stuff (300aac) indoor loads I use 123gr flat point from DodgyRoger or 165gr flat point from ShellHouse bullet company, these are excellent quality.

I'm not sure whether or not the bullets from Hannam's and Krank's aren't the same. If I remember correctly "Ace" was Tim Hannam's alias when he was a member of the BWSS.

It's cheaper to buy a single box of GM .44 mag bullets from Kranks than it is from Dauntsey, even allowing for postage from Kranks. By more than £5.

Dauntsey's site lists Ace and GM separately, so I'd guess they are different (doubt it's simply a reliable).

As above, I'm fairly pleased with GM bullet's performance up to 100m in .44 Mag and have some to try in my 44-40 once I've shot my canadian bullets. Very easy to order too.
