Best copper or bronze mono-metal bullet for expansion?

No. Just run them hard and fast. We kill Cow elk with the 130 Barnes TTSX and the load I mentioned above, but we limit shots to 350 with it.

Look at McGuire bullets for your RUM. I'm testing their 168 now in my 300WSM.

In the 1990's I killed six elk. Haven't seen one since. The fastest kill was with a 7mm 130 Barnes. They included 7mm Nosler 160 and 175 partition and Nosler .375 260 partition.

I guess I need a guide.

Are Lehigh Defense's bullets 100% lead free? I looked at their website and it gave a warning that says under the tab/link "Ammunition Purchase Notes"...

With loaded ammo, the primer is the lead risk usually.

AFAIK Leigh is all 100% copper.
