I'm thinking of reloading some all copper bullets. I was wondering if anyone has experience good or bad with them? They are Barnes, E-Tip and GMX. I'm also looking at the Bergers, I know they are not all copper. I will be using them for Deer and Antelope.
Which Copper Bullet?

What Calibre?
You might also consider GS Custom, they are solid copper with drive bands and moly coating.

here are a few pics. of the bullet I recovered from my whitetail this year . it is a Barnes TSX , 160 gr , 7mm .. I weighed the bullet it weighs - 138.5 . a new one is 159.8 . to measure the expansion I put my calipers on the mushroom and twisted the bullet to get it's widest point . it measures .423 .I'm not impressed with it .did the bullet fail ? I don't know . did the bullet kill the animal , yes . I guess I was expecting more . Jim

That bullet is perfect. It does not require double caliber mushroom to have excellent terminal performance. Small square front will have more permanent damage than a round double caliber mushroom.
My favorite is the GS Custom hv. I used the E-tip this last year, no complaints.
