174~180 Gr Flat Base .312" either FMJ, or spitzer softpoint/hollowpoint.

This is what Lee-Enfield shooters have been begging for for years. Massive sales? probably not, but enough to make it worthwhile oh heck yes! For some unknown reason FB .311/.312" are limited to either 150gr spitzers, or 180 Gr round nose SP. Theres nothing replicating the function & ballistics of a Mk VII ball round that will behave, particularly in 2-groove bores, many of which don't work well with BT bullets.
