Solid Copper Projectiles

[Farris Bueller]

I’m also interested in a heavier 80-90gr .224 Projectiles as well as the .429 in 240-300gr.

There is a real shortage of heavy 300 to 350gr .375 Calibre projectiles here in Canada, for us with 375 Weatherby mags and 378 Weatherby's!!!

9, 40, 45, 308, 338, 50, 6.5, 260.

Any updated?

Cheers,

We’ll be starting production of solid copper projectiles in the spring.

What calibers would you like to see?

So far we plan on 30, 338, 408, 50 BMG and possibly a few larger ones.

I’m also working on a 9mm/40/45 Hollow Point like the crazy RIP round.

Why would you not use lead, the most efficient material for either bullets or shot, for shooting game to eat, that we could ever hope to use?

What makes it the most efficient?
With barnes ttsx projectiles you can punch bone or take shots through meaty bits with minimal meat damage, and get better pentration and have a pass-through with an excellent blood trail if you do end up needing to track. Calibers that historically were inadequate for some game are now great ones due to the advent of bullet building technology.

With your line of thinking we should all still be using cast lead bullets?

6.5 would be nice in the 130gr range!

I'll second this for sure!

Maybe look into the 7 mm's and .375 heavies for the CT's?

 

[hsatimmy]

X39 for us indoor rangers

 

[CDNRaider]

5.7x28 projectiles. I’d be open to 28 to 40 grain options.

45/70

Folks you can't just produce exact replicas of lead-based bullets out of copper, as it takes about 25% more copper to weigh the same. For example a 174 gr 0.303 out of copper will be considerably different than the 174 gr lead-based, bullet you're accustomed to. An exact copy would weigh about 140 grs in copper.

That is fine as a 140 gr to 150 gr copper bullet would be great to load for in .303.....JMO

pardon my ignorance, but what's the point of a full copper boolit?
last I heard the stuff is crazy expensive

The reason is that for big dangerous game, a solid bullet will achieve much more penetration than an expanding bullet. For some reason its really hard to find a heavy full metal jacket bullet for 44 mag or 45/70. Note that you couldn't hunt with these bullets in most places, however they would be great for bear protection.

 

[drill702]

.312 would be nice

 

[Gogglez]

I'd like to see .357Mag, .44Mag, 9mm please! Thanks!

 

[DTHMX68]

.375 please. Around 200gr.

 

[xdmer]

.277 / 6.8, 308 please

 

[bross]

.312 around 115GR; any 45/70; 357. The light .312" would work in 32/20, 32 S&W through .327 Federal, Tokarev, and 303 British. .323" might be useful too.

 

[FrankieT]

338 and 6.5

 

[Beaver Skin]

Pardon my ignorance. Where can you hunt with .224?

45/70 would be terrific

Here in BC.

And in case you missed it...400 g 45-70!

 

[Farris Bueller]

I’d like 44 mag .429 or .430 240 grain or 80-90 grain .224 would be awesome.

Not so sure of the 45/70 Barnes bullets need speed to mushroom.....45/70 is not exactly the caliber that screams speed.

Actually I'm not a fan of monometals.....I vote none of above or below.
