[QUOTE="PLHunter, post: 2020934, member: 107772"] It’s all been said before and what you say is mostly true. However, the lower density coppers eventually do Peter out. So if you are applying this logic make sure to consult your ballistic table it will tell you at which point the copper beats and eventually loses to a heavier lead bullet. There will almost always be a point where the lighter faster bullet no longer is equivalent. Personally, I shoot non-lead. For my 25-06 that distance is around 550 yards. For the Creedmoor 600 yards. All within the distances I want to be shooting game at. The 200-400 yard performance of the monolithics I’m shooting (hammers) is outstanding. Also as a lazyish reloader the consistency in dimensions of monos is worth it to me alone. [/QUOTE]
