[QUOTE="stevotary, post: 858581, member: 40623"] If a copper bullet is used it will be longer than a lead bullet of the same weight due to density differences what effects would this have on: 1. bullet interception on approach to the barrel rifling? 2. since the bullet is longer does it will have a better ballistic coefficient ? -will this better BC make up for the lack of density? -how do the two compare to downrange terminal velocity at , let's say 800 yards seeing both weigh the same 3.how would the two compare with a cross wind? copper has more surface area to be affected [/QUOTE]
