Cutting Edge copper bullets

[zorak]

I just saw online that Cutting Edge Bullets are now making 100% copper bullets. They have them from 22cal all the way to 50cal for hunting/tactical/match and they also have just match/tactical also.

Just wondering if anyone has any experiance with them.

Not personally but I shot next to a guy about a year ago that was doing a load workup with them. He was totally frustrated as he wan't able to find a decent load for them in his rifle. He also shot some SMK's that proved it wasn't a rifle/shooter issue, nice small groups.


Might be an alternative to Barnes.

do you know what kind of rirle he was shooting by chance?

Was it a twist issue where he didn't have enough for those bullets?

I had experienced something like that with the Varmint Grenades when I was first getting started.

I did read on their site that they have a recomended 1-7t or faster is required for the MTH_F13-6MM (.243) 100 GR. VLD HPBT-MAX. And i didn notice they varie in other calibers also compared to other brands recomended twist rates.

I've got a Savage 30-06 that loves Barnes bullets. Load development was so easy I got hooked & was dead set on using them in several other rifles. I never got them to shoot in 2 others and gave up after my expensive experiment.
