Thread: Copper bullets

Because i do it from habit bob.
I have been poked with antlers by "dead" stags before. Also been cut as i gutted a "dead" hind.

The fist sized hole in the brisket internal damage and still exiting a hind quarter is what i cal working well up close driven hard.

Like i said to Abe last night, they certainly have there limitations/odditys but i have never had anything walk from the 130 Barnes.

In a smaller cal there is probably better options in a bonded bullet.

A fully expanded 30 cal at over 3100 will transfer significant shock due to its frontal area.
The smaller the cal the less frontal area to transfer shock and some fragmentation is probably preferable to dump some energy in the animal instead of the bank behind.

I would run a bonded bullet but don't believe the 308 could push them fast enough to be truly effective.
I do want to try the new nosler tho sounds promising.
