[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 2228937, member: 64108"] The Barnes and badlands are a very hard copper alloy that have higher engraving pressure that will generally yield lower velocities and the bullet will mostly stay in one piece sometimes to the detriment of penetration. There are no radiating petals that shear off to cause periphery damage. Hammer and Cutting Edge are a softer copper alloy where the nose comes apart yielding a flat nose bullet shank penetrates thru, the flat nose creating a large wound cavity. The photo is a Badlands Bulldozer that hit an elk broadside in the neck at 883 yards around 2,100 fps then turned up and lodged in the same side backstrap, 12" of total penetration and did not break the vertebrae. that is a VERY hard bullet.[ATTACH type="full"]282218[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]282219[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
