[QUOTE="marioq, post: 1245397, member: 40669"] Since we are still on the first page I have to agree with the previous two posts. There does not need to be any emotional content in this discussion. There's no need to have any smack talking about one bullet versus another. I think the goal of these types of discussion is education and knowledge. It does no good to say "I am going to use lead bullets forever because I hate X company that makes copper bullets!" If you have real world data showing the positive or negative aspects of a given bullet construction, please show it. We all know the damage lead can do on the animal when it hits bone. We have also seen the failure to expand of some lead bullets. I will be the first to say that I do use them both. A couple years ago Wild Rose and I took an elk at 35 yards with a muzzleloader shooting a Barnes copper bullet. I was not very satisfied with the failure of an exit wound. However, when we open the vitals, the damage was fairly significant to the Organs. In fact, one of the petals of the mushroom broke off and dissected through the aorta. I am interested in shooting the hammer and peregrine bulkets to compare. Once I get a gig location, we can examine the bullets in greater detail. [/QUOTE]
