[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 2401025, member: 95344"] I used tungsten for waterfowl hunting. It was very expensive but it killed as well as lead. So far there is no cheap replacement for lead. And it's hard to balance the copper for the same ductile characteristics of lead, and yet not foul badly. In loose terms and descriptions if the copper doesn't foul bad it's harder and measures have to be taken allow for better expansion. If softer you can get good expansion at lower velocities, but accuracy can suffer if it fouls bad. Also BC's come into play it the bullet is going to be used long range. That's where polymer tip come into play. They can improve BC's and help with expansion. My overly simplistic thoughts on the subject. [/QUOTE]
