[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 2387272, member: 97050"] I wouldn’t say it’s too light. 28 nosler on a basic level is just a modern 7mm mag and 150 gr is at the lower end of what the rifle would typically shoot. That said, I would agree that heavier is generally better. As for your copper bullets, the problem with those is that copper bullets are longer per weight then their lead counter parts. A lighter metal at the same weight as a more dense metal, that mass needs to be made up somehow. Bullet stability is based on projectile length and not actual weight, so that is typically the issue with monolithic bullets. Your friend has a point about that. [/QUOTE]
