Gary, you recently mentioned the disadvantages of the "monometal" bullets vs. hard cast. I can't find the post, can you please mention it again.
Thank you.
TM, it wasn't me. must have been another dummy

or another solid copper or bronze bullet.
the Punch bullets I have seen had a lead core

do have a lead core, I even have a couple of examples and didn't bother to look. I was referring to solid brass or copper.
that lead core is what makes the Punch bullets so good

like Michael said the solid brass bullets will, in most

cases, not be really accurate. Being solid brass the rear of the bullet does not obturate into the rifling and the gases flow around the bullet, that effects the accuracy big time.
I thought you were looking for a post with monometal

mentioned. To me any bullet with no lead core is never (in my limited experience) as accurate as a lead core bullet. I would never hunt with a Barnes bullet.
