Very good Reflex264.

Bramble..you hear that?
Let's get you set up to try some.

So..how do we get them to him?
I would assume it's a lot better to ship bullets than it would be to ship ammo to GB
Is that true Bramble?
I would recommend you load them to about 1650-1700 FPS.
Reflex, do you know how old the bullets are? Kelly went to "industry standard" 92%lead 6% antimony and 2% tin in 2000 for the alloy.
When I was running the company we used an alloy of Lead, Tin, Antimony, Arsenic, Silver and Copper. The bullets were 21 bernell, but were extremely tough and would not break up.
I wish I still had the recipe, but it was lost. I was of interest to many, but not something you can easily make in the shop without some pretty sophisticated equipment, as the arsenic is dangerous to try to alloy yourself, and the silver and copper melt at a much higher temp than most home caster can deal with.
The closest you can get without any danger or any special equipment is to take 10 pounds of wheel weights and add 1 table spoon of Hornady chilled shot. Flux and clean. Next take some low temp sivler solder (the 880F flow pioint stuff) and heat the metal up to 890F outdoors. Don't breath the fumes at that temp. Add 2.5 oz of the silver solder and let the metal come back to 680 degrees and flux again.
That alloy is SUPER good for hunting bullets with wide flat noses.

Anyway, I still heard good reports with the 92-6-2 bullets. They will break up and deform more then the old bullets, but the only ones I heard about were shots in the shoulder bones of Cape Buffalo and a few on hippo.
They still kill well though.....
