[QUOTE="iclick, post: 1650688, member: 90335"] I'm in Commifornia as well and started working up lead free loads for all my weapons about five years ago. After trying just about every brand and I have decided on using the Cutting Edge Raptors or Lehigh Defense Chaos bullets for small and medium game and the Ttsx Barnes for elk and larger animals. It offers the better penetration so it is great for that. However on deer I found the the standard monolithic bullets would blow through and not expend most of their energy in the animal. Found that we were having to track too many animals even those with complete heart and lung shots. The Raptors and Chaos bullets tend to mimic my all time favorite bullets (partition) and expend the majority of their energy inside the animal. Most are drt when shot with them. Expensive bullets but with all the costs involved with the sport they are still the cheapest part. I also have found that lead free bullets are very consistent so can be inherently more accurate overall than lead bullets. [/QUOTE]
