Copper bullet testing in ballistics gel and fragmentation barrel 2010

[Daronvines]

What* I consider a tried and true ammunition

[Daronvines]

Not to be a dick but, I've used both and the non lead does not drop an animal or leave a blood trail until after a long ways away... I've shot three deer that we couldn't track with non lead bullets one of which I hit twice both times the deer jumped or flinched like animals do when shot but she kept on running and wasnt found... No blood trail... I've shot two deer with lead one being an eight point and both were found within 10 ft of where I shot them... My conclusion is I will stick with wha

The lead ban in Commyfornia is yet another feeble attempt by the socialist left, & anti everything libtards, to get guns & hunting banned or at least slowed down, if a condor is hit by car? Ban vehicles These idiots will stop at NOTHING.. to get there way. Ive been using lead bullets for 40 years and have yet to bite into a piece of lead, or find a coyote, hawk, eagle, dog, dead from poisoning.. who's study?, some "college kid's..findings? Good job with the mnt lion's? where's the sheep now?

What about accuracy? I heard copper rounds aren't as accurate.

One thing I think people dont realize is this video was made for San Mateo, CA (a lead free zone). All the lead that is left in the hearts lungs etc will be eaten by other wildlife animals such as the endangered Condor. I think this Video just shows hunters in lead free zones that Copper bullets are better for the hunter and wildlife.I save my lead for the most dangerous animal in the world MAN, LOL!

@DMarksmanLima21 I believe that if anything the people in this video are probably more avid hunters than you are. They've spent their lives hunting and insuring that wildlife populations are healthy enough that you can also hunt. The one thing that they are not is anti-hunting. Insulting people that work to maintain healthy wildlife populations is slightly counterproductive.

Looks and sounds to me like the testers are on the "anti-constitution" side of life, trying to gain support for a lead ban. If you guys truly want to know what a good bullet design is and how they perform, go to "Corbins Mfg". He completed more test before he was 25 yrs old then you guys could do in your whole life. You jerks know the cost of copper bullets would cause the cost of ammo to sky-rocket & I believe that is your motive. Go play Airsoft!

The choice IS mine, and being unbiased I choose Nosler. You use the term "outperform," but to me a 63% weight retention means more energy was transferred to the animal thus a larger hydrostatic shock. As far as meat contamination, lead bullets have been used since rifles were invented. Our forefathers lived. Plus bullet placement is generally into non-edible portions (heart+lungs). All this plus nosler is cheaper and performs better in my gun.

Excellent video for visual comparison, I was thinking of reloading barnes tsx heads on my bullets and you have helped me make up my mind.

Gelatin tests are nice, but I don't think they'll ever serve as a substitute for living tissue. If it was up to me, I think bullet tests should be allowed on deathrow inmates.
