[QUOTE="nralifer, post: 2757832, member: 94556"] I’m well aware of the divide that exists with copper lovers and haters. Copper is metallurgically complex. It is not easy to machine, but the C110 at least, has a ductility which we like and use. I have extensive experience with lead core bullets and as hunting bullets they leave much to be desired. Accuracy, though, is very good, but bullet behavior after impact is inconsistent. Penetration is also inferior limiting the impact angles that one can take on animals. I have been impressed with the penetrating ability of all copper bullets including Barnes, but when they don’t expand, they don't kill quickly even when placed properly. The hard core lead fans may not change, but many will. My advise to all copper bullet manufacturers is press on. It’s a huge market with room for everyone. We should have fun doing what we do.
