[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 2401015, member: 69478"] I often wonder what the next evolution of bullet technology will bring. In my opinion, solid copper bullets aren’t the answer in every situation. I also believe lead is going to eventually go to the wayside whether we like it or not unfortunately. I like the idea of the the powdered metal bullet cores like in the Hornady NTX and DRT bullets. However, the BC suffers because the core isn’t as dense as lead and you have to make the bullet super long to make up some BC, and then that leads to its own lists of issues. The tungsten cores sound like a solid solution, but the cost would be astronomical. I think the next evolution will be some man made material that’s similar to lead in density and malleability. I’m not sure what that would be or if it’s cost effective or even possible. [/QUOTE]
