I left out the 270gr...
Its basically the same bullet, just a different weight (and apparently MUCH different composition - based on performance of the 350gr)

Has anyone else not noticed that that bullet is advertised as a SOLID COPPER but it appears to be lead? I know me old eyes aint the bestest in the world but I can still see that that spent bullet is GREY on the innerds! It's not that I care cuzz I for sure aint hunting anywhere near commiefornia but I'd like to know the story behind the switcheroonie there!

I just wonder if that there bullet would be the ONE that I could actually lighten my loads. Say down to 80-85 grains BH. Getting a little tired of getting my shoulder hammered at the bench but my old girl just hasn't found one she likes with anything less than 100.

I have two questions?
1) No way this is same construction as the 270 copper. Looks to be a lead alloy to me as well. What does the package say? I wondered why there were cheaper than the 270s.
2) Where did you get this bullet? The only place I can find that lists them is Midway and they are backordered (which you alluded to) Anyone else know where they might be for sale?

" Like other projectiles in the proven Trophy Copper line, the copper-alloy bullet features a polymer tip, with a deep, hollow cavity and skiving that allows for consistent, devastating expansion."
Copper-Alloy
I am impressed. Wish they were available
Next test: 90 and 100 gr?
