[QUOTE="nralifer, post: 2686934, member: 94556"] I really would have liked to help you out. Where copper bullets clearly have major advantages are in .264 caliber and bigger and for short fat cartridges and free bore lengths that allow the very high BC bullets to be seated out such that the boat tail is even with the neck shoulder junction while allowing for a minimum jump of about 0.015”. Greater jumps can simply be done by seating the bullet a few thousands deeper without impinging much on the powder space much. On the powder end one thing that seems to be happening is the development of temp stable double based powders that pack well and are of various burn rates. Winchester seems to be leading the charge. Their intermediate burn rate, temp stable StaBall6.5 powder is an excellent performer in a surprisingly wide array of cases, and, as noted on this forum, they have announced a slower burning, temp stable “magnum” powder called StaBall HD which to me, could be ideally suited to the 6.8 Western, the WSMs, the PRC, the SAUM line of cases, and the Sherman cases.
