Copper bullet design and expansion / fragmentation

[Heym SR20]

I have had a box of the Brenneke TUG and they grouped okay...haven't used any on deer yet. Price wise they are the most expensive bullets I have bought...they are in boxes of 25.

My bad, I thought the boxes where 50s not 25s - yes they bloody expensive.

The multi cored bullets have always been expensive regardless of whether they have lead or lead free cores. Hardly surprising when they must be a pain to make with expensive tooling.

By contrast monolithics are straight forward and just need a lathe and simple tools.

Here is the link to Frankonia's order page for Evo-Green Bullets in 308. RWS Geschosse .308 9g/139grs. Evo Green

Like all RWS Bullets they are expensive - as in €88 for 50. Mind you the RWS ID Classic which is the original partition type bullet with twin lead cores are €84.40 for 50. Barnes TTSX by comparison are €64 and the Hornady GMX €65. Below are all their 308 offerings in Bleifrei (lead free). The Brenneke bullets would be worth a look pehaps.

I thought the Brenneke looked good but just noticed that there are only 25 bullets in a box, making them 86 Euro for 50 compared to 59.50 Euro for the Barnes.

The least expensive lead-free bullets I have found are the mono metal LeHigh Defense Controlled Chaos...they are just over £50 for 100 delivered.

A couple of weeks ago @alasdair mentioned that he had found a couple of places with them in stock...I had to wait a few months on back order.

LeHigh Defense High Velocity Controlled Chaos Copper 308 CAL 115Grn Bullet (100 Pack)

I notice a couple of UK outlets are advertising that they have LeHigh Defense High Velocity Controlled Chaos Copper 308 CAL 115Grn Bullet (100 Pack) in stock. Given the current scarcity of some non-lead bullets in deer suitable calibre, I wondered if anyone had any experience of these? If so...
