[QUOTE="Rob L., post: 2365745, member: 120811"] Lead-free for me this year and last, and before that, back to the 90's when I switched from loading lead bullets for Barnes TSX and then TTSX. Their initial X bullet did not do well, but the TSX and TTSX are excellent having more accuracy and velocity. Before going to all copper, I was a fan of the Nosler Partition. It was a very dependable, deep penetrating bullet. The all-copper Barnes have been pass-through shots with less meat damage, although the heart and lungs look like they were mixed in a blender. I've read about how good some newer bullets are, but I've got a ****-load of Barnes all loaded up in 7 different calibers, so I have no reason to switch for a long time, if ever. Photos of my little meat buck this year showing entrance and exit holes, and insides (and exit hole). It was a 90 yard shot out of a Japanese 26" bbl Weatherby Mark V chambered in 30-'06. Muzzle velocity is 3210fps with 168gr TTSX and H414. [/QUOTE]
