    DNS, Another great video. For those of us hunting in non-lead states, have you done any hunting/testing with copper bullets? I'm thinking of loading up some Barnes TTSX 100gr. Would you recommend them? I was using a Win 270 with 130gr. Nosler Partitions until they became illegal. I'm getting back into hunting and I'll be switching to the Grendel and copper for pigs this year. No night hunting in California, so I usually hunt just before sunset and my typical shots for pigs are right around 75-125 yards.

    Thanks

      I have hunted with Cavity Back bullets. HuntTXhogs has done some work with Maker TREX bullets. I have some Barnes LRX 127s that A5Blaster gave me to test, but haven't yet.

      In the mean time, the first 11 results of this search are Cavity Back results...

      There are some informative videos in this group that will give you some idea how the bullets perform, but be sure to check out this video. I lost the hog, but it was a pretty amazing loss, I thought - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDHUyk-J7sU&t=6s

      Also see these for Maker TREX




      The Maker TREX seem to hold on to their petals better than the Cavity Back Bullets.

        I wish Maker sold loaded ammo in 6.5 for those of us who can't reload.

          That is where companies like Precision Firearms or Custom Reloads of Dallas (who does my ammo) come into play and can make ammo for you. CRD does new ammo or reloads as desired. www.DallasReloads.com Precision Firearms has a wide select that they offer. I don't know if they would do actual custom work or not.
