[QUOTE="KSB209, post: 2019308, member: 83819"] I read an interesting article about copper bullets and weights compared to lead. It was an older article and I can’t Find it anymore. Basically it stated that if you use non lead bullets you can drop the weight of the bullet for similar performance because they retain 90-100% of their weight upon impact vs lead bullets that retain 50-70% of there weight. So in theory shooting a 100 grain copper would give you similar results as a 140’ish grain lead bullet. Thoughts? I have been switching over to non lead and was interested it this really holds true.
