[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 679499, member: 2736"] Lead free bullets are required in some states and may have some advantages over jacketed bullets. The fact that they weigh less gives them a better Ballistic coefficient in the lighter weight bullets of the same caliber. A while back I went on a search to find as many bullet makers that were making them, and though I would share what I found. (It may not be complete so feel free to add any that are not on this list). I found 4 manufactures and have listed them with there descriptions. BARNES = Banded Solid Flat Base ---------- BND SLD FB Banded Spitzer Solid Boatail-----BHD SPIT BT Multi Purpose Green Flatbase----MPG FB Maximum Range X Boatail-------MRX BT Triple Shock Boatail--------------TSX BT Tipped Triple Shock Boatail------TTSX BT Tipped Triple Shock Flat Base---TTSX FB Triple Shock Flat Base-----------TSX FB Triple Shock Flat Nose-----------TSX FN Varmint Grenade Flat Base------VG FB (They also make a pistol bullet)-XBP NOSLER = Polymer Tipped 210 Alloy---------E-Tip Alloyed core-----------------------SOLID HORNADY = Gilding metal expanding Monolithic-- GMX SINTERFIRE = Frangible Rifle Bullet------------SFIRE Maybe this list will help someone find a bullet that is lead free. I use a lot of these bullets in .224 because they have a little better BC Because the weight of the Alloy is less than lead. J E CUSTOM PS: This might be used as a Sticky in this section, If someone can/will post it. [/QUOTE]
