I should add to this. I dropped 2 deer a couple weeks ago with 1 barnes 25 cal 80 gr ttsx, fully penetrating both. My son shot his buck with a 90 gr hht from his 6.5 needmoor and we recovered the shank under the hide on the off side. Failed to fully penetrate. First copper bullet recovered in 3 decades of using them.Ive killed tons of critters with Barnes and a number with Hammers. Hammers are faster and more accurate and kill just as quick. I get no copper fouling with Hammers also. No experience with Lehigh. At the moment, the Hammers are quite expensive due to tariffs
