copper

  1. Introduction

    Hi I am joining as a friend of mine recommended the forum to me, I have a Sako 85 .270 rifle and shoot red and roe deer, I have always used lead bullets but have just started using copper with some mixed results which I am hoping to remedy. I am from Co, Durham UK
  2. UK monolithic bullet manufactures

    Evening all, Recently begun reloading and wanting to develop a lead free load for my 6.5cm 1/8 twist. I’d prefer a UK based manufacturer for both ease of obtaining and general patriotism (if that’s not considered an act of far right extremism these days 👀). Are wapiti, virtus and yew tree our...

  9. Best Calibre for Deer with Copper Bullets

    I am researching a new calibre for my main deer rifle. I have a .303 SMLE which is great for woodland but I can’t make it accurate enough (for my personal standards), 6.5 CM which I bought and enjoyed using with 143gr ELD-X bullets. I am now shifting to non-toxic and finding the 6.5CM lacking...
  10. My first deer with 6mm Yew Tree 80.5gr non-toxic/copper

    I normally use (Marmite) 95gr SST homeloads in my 243Win, though I've previously had satisfactory results with 100gr Prohunter, Gameking and Speer BTSP. These latter bullets often didn't exit on larger fallow bucks, with separation of cup and core being common, though they did kill well enough...

  12. Reloading copper 6.5x55

    Decided to try reloading copper & chose Barnes ttsx 120 in 6.5x55 After doing the usual working up from min to max (at 50 thou off lands) i found my best grouping was between 43gr & 43.5gr of Viht N160 so settled on 43.2gr. Then I played with seating depth going up in 10 thou increments from 50...

  14. Barnes 130 GR TTSX Loading 270 Win

    Starting to load the Barnes TTSX 130 in 270 win and interested to know what powders people are using? Currently use RL 22 in my .270 for Nosler Partitions in 130 but Barnes suggest RL 19. Anyone else using RL 22 for the TTSX or other easily available powder in the UK? RS62? Thanks.
  15. Federal Trophy Copper Red Hind experience

    I used federal trophy copper 165 grain 300 win mag on a few days at the red and sika hinds. We shot a total of 6 red and 1 sika. 50 to 250 meters. I was impressed with the outcome. I think the calibre/bullet combo is about perfect for the reds - especially on the hill where shot distance is...
