How did you get on with them ? Are they capable of comparable accuracy to conventional copper jacketed types ? Are they fussy to load with ?
Also, long shot, does anyone have a dimension drawing of one in .308 ?

Is this for game shooting?
I've heard of these ones

Not by me.
I'm wondering if there will be a ban on lead bullets and as I have a sliding head lathe, commonly known as a swiss automatic lathe, suitable to make this kind of thing by the thousands I was thinking of trying it.

Some dimension info you’ll find here

BTW not all ranges allow mono metallic bullets ,Bisley certainly has restrictions on their use but I’m not sure what other ranges do.

Those products are expensive and as I have all the necessary equipment I have little to lose by trying, if ranges will allow them. I suppose I could get someone abroad to try them for me, feedback and testing in return for free ammo, in anticipation of a UK lead ban or change of range rules, or maybe just produce expanding non-toxic for the deer stalkers.
Who knows, all pie-in-the-sky hobby ideas at present.
