Anyone getting extreme destruction with copper bullets?

I have not found that to be the case. Copper seems to leave a long consistent wound channel. The most destructive has been SST. I will use ELD Match this year and expect similar destruction and frangibility.

Having shot animals with SGK, NBT, and TTSX; I prefer the lead cup and and core bullets to copper. I feel they are more likely to put game down more quickly with "standard" heart/lung shots. In my experience things shot with copper drop right there, or run up to 100+ yards. I've taken to shooting them in the shoulder with copper if I'm not in a wide open space. My previous experience with lead never saw an animal run more than 40 yards after the shot.

As for destruction; since using copper bullets I've found that unless there's bone in it, I can eat right up to the hole.

I have yet to recover a copper bullet from any of the pigs I've shot with them. 300BO and 308, both seem to have zipped right through them. Wound channels didn't seem overly large to me.

I hunt with a 300 Win Mag, I've tried the GMX, to expand they need stupid high velocity, not a fan. TTSX are solid, though had a couple pencil through, had to spend half the night tracking a deer.

I started using the Hammer Hunter 181, love it, no blood shot meat, lungs turned to hamburger not jelly. My buddy uses them in the 214 grain, same thing.
