[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 2348144, member: 14204"] Brad, Below is an excerpt from an e-mail I got from Barnes ... [COLOR=rgb(44, 130, 201)][I]Thank you for shooting Barnes Bullets. First off, Barnes is made of 100 percent copper and Hammer is a gilding metal bullet. Gilding metal has zinc in the copper. So a Barnes Bullet is actually softer. The expansion has to do with what velocity we want the bullet to expand at. Some bullets we have designed for extreme low velocity expansion and others are more around the traditional 1800 fps; some even higher. It depends on the cartridge or application it is intended for.
