[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2484392, member: 116181"] I believe they built the bullets specifically for the 375 EnABELR. Extending out to a guess... it was so that Litz could still shoot Bergers while being competitive against all the CE bullets that were dominating. Hornady sneaks a few A-Tips in, but probably only a matter of time before they go to the dark side also. I'm sorry but you're incorrect. It might have been true as recently as 10 years ago, but there are quite a few monolithic lathe turned hunting bullets on the market today. I've killed animals with them, and there's an entire thread dedicated to nothing but pictures of results from using them. Have you head of Hammer or Cutting Edge? Hammer Bullets are purpose-built hunting bullets that are lathe turned. Same with Cutting Edge, they make match bullets, hunting bullets, and even one called the MTH that is both a hunting and match bullet all in one. Hammers and CE are not drawn wire bullets like the Barnes TSX (and most likely the Hornady CX), and there is no apples and oranges to a comparison between a Hammer, a CE MTH, and the new Berger target mono, the differences between them all primarily relate to having enough of a tip opening to shed the petals on contact. To your original point that I was rebutting, there are plenty of copper bullets that will perform no less effectively than traditional cup and core bullets. Drawn wire and turned bar stock both. The distinction you're trying to make between the various copper bullet production methods is spurious, it doesn't change the reality that coppers have made serious inroads into several key parts of shooting sports, for reasons that are entirely based on performance and have nothing to do with lead bans.
