Can anyone tell me about the lead free bullets??

My first experience with copper bullets was not great. It was with the old Remington copper solid 12ga slugs. Accuracy was great but they didn’t expand on whitetail (OH). My dad went back to light field slugs and I went the 45colt (Blackhawk) route.

My next experience was with the m855a1, that was a huge upgrade to m855. This year I’m going to try the hammer HHT on deer and see how they do. Load development was super easy, velocity is amazing and terminal performance on the creek bank looks promising. The 80gr hht is going 3515fps in my 20” 6.5 Creedmoor and the 57gr hht should be over 4000fps in the 22creedmoor. The 22 Creedmoor barrel shipped today so I’ll know soon.
 
Been shooting Barnes for 25 years. My go to deer bullet. Never had a bad experience in 6.8, 243, 7-08, 308, 30-06, 300 WM, 300 WHBY, 300 RUM, 338 WM….
Drive em fast and hit em hard.
