@Phil Giordano that’s why I’m sort of interested in IMR4895, a powder I never really used before until loading for my son’s 375HH. When I look at load data for 4895, often times the load manuals say the lowest volume charge was the most accurate. (Weird, since in RL powders often times the 102% loads are known for accuracy)
The chit-chat on this post was helpful and thought provoking. I wanted to thank everyone chiming in. So it sounds to me like we have a gotcha to solve with bullets. Pure copper bullets are volumetrically bigger than lead so they should be more accurate with a better BC than lead in “lighter for caliber” loadings. But the astute folks that chimed in brought up the fact that a Barnes TSX or TTSX wants a pretty high velocity loading to get proper expansion.
In light of these factors, is there a company out there making copper monometals in 30 cal that are fairly soft, similar to a nosler ballistic tip or remington core lokt? I know NOTHING about the various e-tips, bergaras, RWS, and the pile of other less-well-known all copper bullets.
