If Lead goes Dead . what's your choice

Suffering? Have you taken a close look at nature? Wild animals never die of old age.

You're right I should poison more of them when it's easily avoidable. They're gonna die anyway might as well be my fault.

Yes I said suffering. Lead poisoning isnt a phucking picnic. Or is that wrong? Turns out it's a blast and we're doing them a favour?


And yes actually I just got back from a month of doing aerial inventories of hunting zones, control hunting, necropsies etc. You could say I've taken a look at nature lately lol. Feel free to keep lecturing though.

If I am interpreting the OP question correctly, I think this thread went off the deep end in bad way. I believe the intent was to ask what were people's preference in non-lead bullets was (not whether or not lead should be banned, or which godless, baby-eating cabal is orchestrating an overly elaborate plan to inconvenience shooters by telling us that lead might not be the healthiest thing for us or other critters to eat).

To that end, When I shoot mono's, I am solidly in the Barnes TTSX or LRX camp only because Barnes are by far the most ubiquitous non-lead bullet available. In fact, Barnes are the only mono's I have ever used but I am tempted to try the CX and Naturalis options. It would be great to hear of some real world use and critiques of the less popular monos.

I picked up some factory loaded Trophy Copper 223 55gr to try out, wasn't overly impressed with accuracy.
Also have some TTSX 338 185gr to load up and try in my 338 federal when I get it built. I've heard and read good things

Interesting. With rifle to rifle variance you never really know eh?

Just for schidts and gigs I'm gonna try some 62gr TTSX and 70gr TSX from either a Ruger American or Tikka T3. Looking forward to seeing how it shoots them.

Course that means being able to tune the load/work up.
