I agree, copper is great in 'some' situations, but here it is $3-5 per round depending on quality and caliber. Gets really expensive when going to the range for a refresher.
Most high end lead, like Nosler rounds (if u use them) are half that, with better opening.
Although, copper usually stays in 1 piece, where lead shrapnels...

I'm thinking about bringing copper over there next Feb to see how it affects quality of meat.

As you already touched on, main difference is in terminal ballistics. It doesn't make much difference to the quality of the meat, the meat does have less lead. That is about it.
