These are Silver Jacket bullets. They are factory moly coated bullets. There are 425 of them. The bullets in the blue boxes (2 boxes of 100 and one box of 25) are in perfect condition. Some of the bullets in the card boxes (2 ×100) are slightly discoloured (see photo). I will take £25 each for...

It's dead on at 100m and 175m so I presume it rises in the middle. I will check on the 100 to 175 m trajectory tomorrow and get back to you. It's a Tikka super light with a Z8i 56 x 18

Speed kills that is why the Welsh assembly government has slapped us with a 20 mph Speed limit but seriously if your shot placement is spot on I would agree but Copper monolithic do need velocity to petal open on chest shots

It's dead on at 100m also at 175m but the BC is desperate and it starts to slow and fall beyond that but 175 m aim on is ok for most UK stalking would you not agree?

I don't care. It's about science and physics and most importantly about humane dispatch

I have always been a Copper advocate for health reasons (I'm a Dr) but lead is the best beyond 350 m and for close range wild boar

Single base slow powder so longer than N550

Because for stalking it's really fast and FLAT and Copper needs SPEED to open up and humanely kill and be less effected by the wind (less airborne time means less wind effect. Force x time)

Fair enough but the CX is a revised bullet because of this.

Fair enough . I have always used Barnes for 18 years and the terminal effects are great but the QC has been off recently and they don't group with my rifle and 2 of my friend's rifles any more and the weights are all over the place now. If you can't hit what you are shooting at despite being...

Why?

Good analysis but back order Nosler virtual bullets are hard to shoot . I really like Nosler but Hornaday are easy to source.

220 gn Hornaday RN are best for me. They work better than Barnes 200 gn

TR 140 which is equivalent to Vihtavuori N140. 61.5 gns. No pressure symptoms and a MV of 3275 fps with CX 110 gn. Zero 100 m and Zero again at 175 m. 3 clicks on the ballistic turret (3x 2 cm) at 200, 6x 2.5 cm at 250 m and 9 x 3cm at 300m.
