Show Notes

This episode takes a deep dive into the world of current monometal bullets. We explore driving trends, performance characteristics, and differences between monometal and lead-core bullets.

Next, we dig into specific bullet designs by the great makers:

  • Barnes TSX, TTSX, and LRX
  • Hornady CX & MonoFlex
  • Nosler E-Tip
  • Federal Trophy Copper
  • Winchester Copper Extreme
  • Badlands Bulldozer II
  • Hammer Hunter
  • Cutting Edge ER Raptor

We discuss minimum impact velocity thresholds, expansion mechanisms, mushrooming characteristics, accuracy reputations, and of course elusive ballistic coefficients. Finally, we wrap up with thoughts on the future of hunting bullets.
