Anyone favor using monolithic all copper bullets for big game hunting?
Ive always used lead core bullets but now that Im getting into reloading Im looking closer at copper monolithic's and from what I see they are an improvement over lead core. Ive recovered few bullets over the years, I have one lead core sample with a perfect mushroom and another one only the base survived. It seems the effectiveness of weight retention with lead core bullets is dependent on shot placement (all other things being equal) but Id like to know real world opinions on copper monolithic's hunting big game (deer/elk)?
Arguments for or against copper monolithic's?
