[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 2517125, member: 64108"] I switched to the softer copper alloys used in Hammer and Cutting Edge Bullets as they don't build pressure as fast and usually have higher velocity all else being equal. The Barnes are a 100% retention bullet where as on the Hammer and CEB's the front petals break off and radiate out as shrapnel damaging internal organs while the base, now shaped like a wad cutter, passes thru penetrating and exiting with 60-70% weight retention. It is uncommon to recover the bullet shank and often petals are found in the offside hide. I run the 275 Lazer at 3,020fps in my 338 Edge with N570 and a 28" barrel [/QUOTE]
