Copper bullet power and performance

In the first test of its kind, firearms experts Andrew Venables and Tim Pilbeam test copper bullets at 100 metres/yards and 250 metres/yards. With more UK venison processors demanding deer are shot with non-toxic bullets, they look at what cartridges you can buy in gunshops.

    Very good indeed - can we have good and bad stories from the second hand market - things to look for on our favourite makes (customer service) and how to avoid buying kit that is really only for the specialist. Pitched perfectly for the enthusiast rather than the fanatic or specialist. Looking forward to the next episode.

    Last year i made a transition to leadfree bullets. Lapua Naturalis 30-06. Works like a charm for every game !

    I agree with the tester that bullets that do not expand well at a given distance does not mean failure but its the at the limit of the design. I shoot Hornady .30-06 American Whitetail 150gr InterLock SP. A call to Hornady's tech support department this is what they shared with me. These figures are for .30-06; brand, weight, bullet type, minimum velocity to expand and the distance American Whitetail, 150gr, InterLock SP, 1800 fps - 400 yards Super Performance, 150gr, SST, 1600 fps - 600 yards Precision Hunter, 178gr, ELD-X, 1800 fps - 800 yards The US ammo manufacturers load their basic ammo; American Whitetail, Core-Lokt and PowerShock in 150gr SP minimum terminal velocity of 1800 fps at 400 yards. The average hunter in the US will rarely take a shot beyond 200 yards. We hunt from a blind to 75 -125 yards at a feeder. Having worked in the retail firearms sales many hunters both new and seasoned can be easily persuaded to spend more money on ammo that necessary. A box of American Whitetail retails for $19-$21 while the Super Performance and Precision Hunter sell for $33 and $36/box. All prices listed are USD Dead is dead with $19 to $36/box ammo. How dead does the game need to be? He'll be just as dead with the $19/box ammo as he would be with the $36/box. The same goes for rifle. The dear will be just as dead if shot with a T/C Compass at $299 as he would be with a Browning X-Bolt at nearly $1000 or more. Where you want to spend the money is on optics. A $1000 rifle with a $100 optic is a $100 rifle. In the following video, The Pigman shoots a nilgai at distance with a $300 T/C .300WinMag, Leupold scope. You don't need to blow your whole wad on ammo and rifle if shooting under 500 yards. If you are truly shooting beyond you'll need a 26" barrel either standard or heavy profile. You will need to spend on optics. kzread.info/dash/bejne/aJen1auGkqvSYcY.html

    I shoot 308 and believe light for cal.bullet does the Best in copper bullets. I don't like the kick and shoot better with lighter bullets. Great job man.

    With all these advancements with what I call copper cut bullets and the claims that their terminal performance is better than the old cup & core bullets, how about doing a comparison to see if these bullets performance is equal to the next caliber. IE 9mm copper compared to 40 cal cup & core or 40cal copper to maybe 10mm cup & core.

    Biggest concern is expansion past 400 or 500 yards. I'm concerned about that. Normdont shoot past 300, but a lot of folks are shooting 500 plus. Could pinhole game.
