[QUOTE="Hawkeye Pierce, post: 1925730, member: 112455"] Take it for what it's worth, this is just my choice. I don't have a problem with lead core bullets but 2 years ago when making a nice antelope steak I bite into a substantial sized piece of lead. It came from a berger VLD Hunter shot into a beutiful quartering away at 326 yards and it liquified the chest cavity, very effective. I cut away the bloodshot meat, so when I hit the lead in my steak I got concerned. Not so worried for myself, i have other issues that are more likely to drop me before lead poisoning, but I have 3 young daughters who love meat. I mean they will run by and grab a hand full of heart fillet steak peices and never get to the table. So I switched to barnes LRX monos, for the reduced chance of them getting something in their system that would hurt them. Plus I was shooting a 3" group at 500 meters 2200 FPS with 200 gr .308 LRX, LOL 90 inches of drop but still accurate. [/QUOTE]
