Referring to the article where he says bullet makers jumped on the copper bullet bandwagon when the anti lead bs started. I don't believe that is true of Barnes. As best as I can recollect they started making the original X bullet in the early 1980's.So for a moment can we appreciate the irony that the ballistic article Overkill posted as proof that fragmenting bullets are a gimmick was written by Nathan Foster who has extensive knowledge of the terminal ballistics on long range game and the only monolithic bullets he recommends for long range hunting are bullets which use a fragmenting to kill game such as the Lehigh and Cutting Edge bullets.

That's good to hear. I moved from Wy. to Ca.. my job ends here on the 26th. I'm moving back or to Id.. The no lead bullet law here went into affect this month. Glad I won't be here and be very happy to get out of this socialist dictator controlled state. Good riddens.We started making our bullets because we preferred the terminal performance. Not because of legislation. I would prefer no legislation.

Ok. I give up....We started making our bullets because we preferred the terminal performance. Not because of legislation. I would prefer no legislation.
Yes all true, but this is something the OP has ONLY "looked at" makes no mention of using said bullet! typical keyboard "expert" LOL.Does anyone not think that it is weird that he is griping about bullets that give the best of both worlds? A bullet that penetrates and fragments so you get his "so called" energy dump and two holes? The guy is contradicting his contradictions.
Bleeding from tissue damage is what matters period! If it wasn't the case, you would never kill anything with a broadhead and the Indians would have died a long time ago. That's why bergers and Hammer bullets are so devastating because they fragment and cause a lot of internal damage to organs. Seems pretty simple no?
Even our mesolithic ancestors know how to optimize flint broadhead size for the animals they hunted. The rules of thumb carry over into hunting bullets today!Does anyone not think that it is weird that he is griping about bullets that give the best of both worlds?

Like maybe Supercaliberfragalistic?I have to say that when I read a label like "Cutting Edge match tactical hunting" the first thing that comes to mind is that the company that produces it certainly has a marketing department with an active imagination. That hits all the buzzwords you can pack into a bullet name short of armor piercing, incendiary, and heat-seeking - although I'm sure my creative fellow commenters will come up with a few even more humorous hyperbolically descriptive terms. Supercavitating high-explosive tracer, anyone? Terrain-following stealth?
Do you have any of your bullets on a store shelf in DALLAS? .308, 6.5, .339. I'm here for 3 more daysWe started making our bullets because we preferred the terminal performance. Not because of legislation. I would prefer no legislation.
