[QUOTE="therifleman556, post: 1434517, member: 101898"] I spoke to a tech at Lehigh about the copper vs brass bullets. He basically confirmed what I had expected and said with the brass being a bit more brittle those bullets would produce a smaller particle fragment. The copper controlled chaos line is supposed to expand much like a Barnes, but is designed to shed the petals once they peel back to the shank. This is primarily why I went with the Lehigh vs the Hammers. I looked into the 71 gr hammer for 243 but went with the 85 grain Lehigh. The Hammer advertised about 70% weight retention, where the Lehigh advertised fragmentation. For something the size of a deer, it claims exactly what I want. [/QUOTE]
