Bullets for 450/400 3"

I've heard that being thinner walled one should avoid brass bullets, or definitely the harder ones in a double. Chris definitely banned them for my Verney. So for the 450/400 I need a 'soft solid' if you get my drift.
Peregrines are copper with driving bands. So the main bullet rides in the bore with only the driving bands engaging the rifling. There are brass peregrines but I don't use those. Craig Van Zyl uses the copper peregrines in his 500 NE- Verney Carron ?
 
Im a diehard A-frame believer in both my 470 and 450-400 and their new solid is assume

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.
