[QUOTE="Huntnful, post: 2563874, member: 116563"] Man I used to think just like that until I started shooting the copper and understanding them a little more. I have the 199’s also. The design just seems inferior to the 181’s. They have a shallower hollow point (smaller fragments on impact), fatter nose/ogive and all the weight is in the shank. Weight doesn’t matter near as much with copper as it does with a fragmenting lead bullet. Basically with a heavier hammer, all you get is a bigger shank. So if you want a big *** shank for crazy penetration I’d say go for it, but I think the remaining shank of the 181 seems plenty heavy for deep deep penetration. That’s a 181HH, 215 Hybrid, 199HH & 230 hybrid. The hollow point is .1” deeper on the 181 if I remember correctly. [ATTACH type="full"]375587[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
