[QUOTE="ChrisTeam2, post: 2626159, member: 123937"] Coper bullets will create more wear on your barrel and they just don't quite have the same accuracy and BC you can get from match or hunting lead core bullets. Coper bullets really limit the effective range of the 308 due to the minimum velocity recommended (varies by caliber and manufacturer) to get good and reliable expansion and a quick kill; if all you hit are the lung(s) for example... Of course, any bullet that takes out the CNS or goes through the heart and lungs will work, but does it reliably provide the quickest kill under different conditions? The long range hunting group videos provide the best comprehensive empirical data when it comes to terminal ballistics for your application and many others. You should check out this video: [MEDIA=youtube]zPapzyazzBg[/MEDIA] The host reviews a shot made out of a 308 at 875 Yards, brings the Elk down right down on the spot. Berger VLD was used for this shot but you have many other good bullet options, such as ELD-Ms, A-tips, TMKs, etc... (165 Gr. to 176 Gr.): [MEDIA=youtube]h1-yp97ZhBg:417[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
