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?

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

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
