[QUOTE="davkrat, post: 932140, member: 6452"] Living in California I'd love to see a long range VLD style bullet with a copper tin powder core. A tipped VLD solid copper would work too but I believe the Barnes and ETip style bullets need more velocity than lead core to expand and perform on game. I'd think a lead free core like in the Nosler lead free ballistic tip varmint rounds might work great at longer ranges and lower impact velocities. Perhaps even a solid copper base similar to the rear portion of a Partition and then a lead free expanding tip up front. Something in the 150-170 grain range in .277, .284 and .308 would be fine with me. Good velocity and high BC in moderate magnum rounds like the 7mm Rem Mag. [/QUOTE]
