[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1434554, member: 2736"] Brass and brass alloys are used mostly for dangerous game because they hold together better in tough, dense game and can penetrate deeper than a bullet that expands. For most other types of hunting, an expanding type of bullet works better and can deliver its energy sooner/quicker. brass or brass alloys have been fairly successful in some target uses because of there ballistics and machinability. Bullet manufactures have been looking for the "Golden Bullet" for many years and still haven't found a bullet that will do it all. For every plus that is built into a bullet, there are other areas of loss. Alloys can be machined very accurately and consistently, but other desirable bullet attributes may be lost in certain uses. There are some very good turned bullets available and there are some very good jacketed bullets also available and one may fill all of the needs better than another, so the type of bullet design will most often be chosen for the total performance for the type of shooting/hunting done. I have tried machining alloys to gain an advantage, and really found none that gave me everything that I wanted/ hoped for, so I have sense left the bullet manufacture of my bullets up to the bullet manufacturers. and concentrate on choosing which type and design I need for the best overall performance. Just an opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
