Both of those are going to be dang hard to get commercial cast bullets for. This is due to the large variation of throat sizes on most of the rifles chambered for those calibers. If you slug the throats and know for certain what you have, then you could give our Billy Marr, Cast performance and Beartooth bullets a call and see what they have.

I use a local small, one man cast bullet company for certain bullets and I checked into having him set up his casting machine to pour a different caliber rifle bullet for me and he figured it up and said it would cost about $500 to set up for each new bullet and then you would still be paying for the bullets at the regular price.
This might not be bad if you can get enough people together but it's kind of rough on an individual.

You might want to give Liberty Shooting Supply a try at www.libertyshootingsupplies.com/

They list lightweight .303 and 8mm cast bullets.

Hope this helps. :D

Thanks Matt
I looked at liberty's site. I didn't see 303 or 8mm listed. I emailed them to see what thay say about it.   Thanks.

Pasquot-

Under their "Long Gun Bullets" section Liberty has 130 grn GCSP's listed in .311 diameter and .324 diameter.  Were you looking for something lighter?
