Cut down a CTL 312-160-2r Mold to make a ~116 grain SS bullet?

Testers have their bullets.

I feel that is an accurate enough quote.

Have any of the testers got anything to report back?

I had a few months of interruption due to getting married and things like that. Helped a brother build another 300BO pistol too, so that's a thing.

I haven't gotten any serious range time, but one of the guys I have been working with has been happy enough with the load so far that he's made around 1500 of them as his standard practice ammo and is talking about needing more. They work quite well for consistently ringing 6" steel off hand and moving at close to 100m ranges. On a bigger plate at 75ish, I was making the bullets stack in about a 1.5" area with a pistol off hand, so I'm pleased. I know that's not scientific or impressive to the hole punching crowd, but it's indicative of the project generally being worth while.
