Solid Copper Projectiles

[99Solutions]

.310-.311 in 123-125 grain weight for 7.62x39 to legally hunt with something more stout than a crappy light soft point.

 

[Geowolffe]

.458 for my .458 win mag. Preferably in 350 - 400 grain.

 

[Xippper]

.223/5.56 75g,HP

+1 for .223/5.56

 

[ndallyn]

7mm - 140 gr
8mm - 170 gr

 

[Archer Sam]

Hallow point .452 for 450 bushmaster 460 s&w ect

Gitty up...... 250,275 and 300 gn with hp or ballistic tip pointed

All the people asking for heavy bullets... you realize they'd be huge, right? Being solid copper the bullets are much longer than their lead cored counterparts. A 400gr .458" bullet would be the size of a 550+ grain lead core bullet. The Barnes 180gr .308's I have are longer than the Hornady 208gr AMAX I have. I can only imagine how long a 75gr .224" solid copper would be.

And from this day forth the expression: "Copper Poisoning" has been born!!!

Probably close to tracer length. 1:7 should stabilize.

Edit. Copper has a higher density than steel so not terrible.

If you make #4 shot I'm in for some

 

[Calnor]

x4 for 45-70 bullets 300g on up to 600g

considering copper is 78% the weight of lead, a 400gn copper projectile would be roughly the size of a typical 500gn lead projectile. How in the HELL are you going to chamber a 600gn copper projectile in ANYTHING???

When I was offered a 45-70 lever, first thing I did was search for copper ammunition. None to be found.
Since I haven't started reloading yet, I passed on the rifle. I was hoping Barnes made the ammunition, but they only offer projectiles.
Just to say, if you make ammo, you may have cornered a small market. (new competing rounds like the bushmaster, socom, etc haven't caught on yet)

7mm, .284

 

[Max Owner]

Any update to this, Ryan?

 

[owensgreg]

I’d never even thought about 45/70 projectiles. I’ll check out what we’d have to do to make them.

Yea 45/70 is a must... I'm in

 

[jmichelin84]

I'd love to see some .310 to .312, for 303 British, 7.62x39mm and 7.62x54R

 

[Astute Observer]

I'd be super stoked to see copper pistol bullets modeled after the G2 RIP. Those things look amazing.

 

[ljones]

a lighter say 110 or so grain bullet or even a 123gr in .311 for the 7.62X39 for hunting would be nice to use out of the bolt rifles. Also some .311 for the .303 British as well.

I am assuming these would be expanding bullets like a Barnes that you are having made? Or just a solid copper pointed tip?
