[QUOTE="ducky, post: 2020835, member: 94420"] I just subscribe to shoot what your rifle likes best. Californians have it a little tougher since the majority of bullets sold are still lead based. Just pick the right bullet for the application is how I roll these days. That said I'm about to head out and test some 95 grain LRX in my 6mm Creedmoor, if they don't shoot as well as the Hornady 105 BTHP I won't use them on my 4th season hunt next week. However, they've been shooting well enough I'll probably use them as I'm interested in their performance. This is my first time shooting the LRX, TTSX and GMX bullets have worked well in the past for me. I haven't tried premium all copper bullets yet, but I probably will. I like shooting my .300 Blackout suppressed and have been looking at the 85-110 grain copper bullets for hunting. I'd love to try some subsonics but 220 grain cup and core don't seem to open up very well and they aren't legal for big game in CO. I've been thinking of casting some almost pure lead projectiles and powdercoating for my subsonic hunting for varmints and out of State, I'mbetting they'll work similar to a round ball out of a ML. Again it's all about the application. [/QUOTE]
