I do. Or did. Still have the equipment but too much cheap competition. Still do an occasional order for existing customers who can't find a better bullet anywhere else. 8^)

Swaged (sorry, only one weight when cast), pointed or SWC nose, copper tip keeps it from mushrooming on hard objects, weights up to 700 grains, should get 3 inch group at 100 yards. Most popular was 650 grain copper tipped in front of 150 grains ffg for close to 1600 fps and a Taylor KO of 40.

They have been used in Africa for eland, cape buffalo, and leopard.

Otherwise I have heard fairly good things about the hard bullet with the plastic base. Those are cast and are quite hard, and the plastic base acts as the gas seal and catches the rifling to get the spin on the bullet. Advertised in all the blackpowder hunting mags.
