Who made this bullet. Several years ago, in a trade, I got some 215 gr RNSP bullets. The guy I got them from was not sure who made them. They are .310

Could be Norma; maybe Herter's [made in Sweden] or Metallwerken [bought by Norma a half-century ago]. They're not Hornady, Remington or Dominion / CIL, as there's no cannelure. Perhaps Hawk, but the nose profile doesn't match ones I've had. Not sure who else made them, but there were a lot back in the day.
 
I am going to do the local bullet test on them, I will shoot one through a tree. Chronograph says average 2925. I imagine they are strong medicine.
 
2925fps with a 215? What cartridge?
Hi, I have a P14 enfield that was of course a 303 br, that I found a new old stock barrel for at a gun show, and had a gunsmith rechamber it to take 300 win mag brass, so I guess you would call it a 303/300 win mag. It still has the 25-1/4" barrel, and I moly coat the bullets. This is a superb rifle for still hunting, lots of range and lots of power, however, it is a bit of a pain to carry in the bush with the long barrel and it is a bit heavy. It was deadly accurate with a few other bullets, and I am sure it will be with these. I shot 200 gr bullets, old speer grand slams, at 2975 fps. Which I can testify is sufficient for a 4 point mule deer.
Their 215 does not look anything like the one pictered however, the C.I.L. bullets are cannelured and staked for core retention.
The one on the left is a C.I.L. 215 KKSP , next to a Saber Tip and a CPE.

I still have a bunch of those .311 180 gr kksp. I loaded up some for a buddies son, and he shot a moose with them, he was over the moon.
