[QUOTE="iclick, post: 1927784, member: 90335"] I have been experimenting with non lead here in California for the past 6 years. Found that Cutting Edge Lasers or MTH perform the best overall for accuracy. However for game rounds I mostly use the Lehigh Defense Chaos bullets. They are less expensive and nearly equal to the CE bullets for accuracy. With lead free twist rates and case volume are what dictates load data. We have tested most of the non lead available in approximately 40 different cartridges and we found that most of the mainstream bullets punch through but expell most of their energy after exiting the animal. Which even with very good kill shots many animals would run sometimes long distances before collapsing. The designs from CE and Lehigh are designed to have similar wounding to the old lead standby Nosler's Partition bullets.
