DTG3k Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Looks like the DEC keeps talking about how non lead ammunition is better to use. Anyone here use any non lead ammunition for Rifle hunting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmo Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Think my bullets are copper. Sure it isn't copper covered, lead interior? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnhu Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 It might very well be just a coating, hence the term jacket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ants Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I tried those "copper solid" slugs, but didn't like them. They didn't fly that great out of my gun and the one slug I recovered out of a deer never even started to expand. In my rifles I shoot the copper jacketed stuff (mostly Rem. green box) Thats not to say that all of the non lead stuff is bad, but if they make it manditory I bet the price goes through the roof.

Spiff Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Yeah...I have heard nothing but good about the Triple Shocks. Just never tried them This is a 7.62 x 39 in TSX quartering away. You can see the vitals, also hit front away shoulder and disintegrated it. Nasty for a 7.62 round.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATbuckhunter Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I use barnes TSX copper bullets and they eat deer for breakfast. They absolutely are better then lead in every way but price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
