[QUOTE="Petey308, post: 2329077, member: 106845"] I don’t mind at all. I really appreciate civil discussions and without bias on any one bullet. They all have their strengths and weaknesses and their place. I had a lot of issues with cup and core bullets once too, and it was one big reason I switched to copper bullets when I did too. After using copper bullet for a long time, and actually never losing an animal with them (so take that for what it’s worth), I did ultimately go back to cup and core bullets. During the time I was using the copper bullets, I was getting really deep into researching all this stuff and I started figuring out what I was doing wrong with the cup and cores. So I tried experimenting with the new knowledge and starting having much better overall performance compared to what I was getting with the solids I was using. I’ve continued that success now for several years and and been able to share this knowledge and advice with honestly quite a few people, including customers, and I’ve yet to have anyone tell me it didn’t work amazing. It does feel good. Since switching back to cup and core bullets though, there’s been a lot of new companies making solids that I’ve yet to actually try myself. Maker, Badlands, Hammer, etc are a few examples, although I have been sent a few to at least cross-section. I’ve not seen what I consider to be any true game changing technology though. The Terminal Shock bullets from DRT are still my absolute favorite lead free bullets abd I have actually used those. [/QUOTE]
