[QUOTE="NorCalRiceGuy, post: 2059919, member: 65754"] Solid copper is different than lead. Bullets are longer at given weights, so it's better to go down in weight, i.e., if you use a 140 lead core, drop down to 120 gr. Solid copper. Weight retention with Barnes is usually 95-100%. Hammer copper are a whole other animal and options should be discussed with Steve or Brian at Hammer Bullets. BTW - Hammers work great. I got 2 DRT one-shot kills in Montana in November. One on a muley buck and the other on a cow elk. Both flopped over when hit. Never took another step. They're pricey, but they work! [/QUOTE]
