[QUOTE="Lahunter76, post: 1551020, member: 108658"] OK, guys yall have made me focus more on getting set up on my reloading equipment vs allocating funding atm towards a better scope(vx3 4.5-14x50 leupold to a vx5hd 3-15x56 leupold). SO in my research and yalls guidance.....the hammer bullets have peaked my intrest due to the know freebore in my Mark V 300 wby mag, and the fact that they do not seem to be as sensitive to seating depth or at all according to hammer.....I had planned on using Berger bullets due to i have never really understood copper bullets and was concerned at how they performed on game vs say the Berger VLD or Hybird. I think that due to the copper density vs lead, I will not be able to shoot as heavy of a bullet due to the extra length copper bullets have over conventional But in turn I will get faster MV. I guess my issue is that TO ME(ignorant) that the copper bullets are better perpetrators but do not expand or cause as much dmg as a conventional bullet....is this reasonable thinking? ALSO...i have no doubt they are both GREAT bullets and GREAT companies so i am not debating which is better necessarily, just how they compare...if that makes since.
