Thread: Copper Projectile Accuracy... Barnes GMX etc..

They seem to require extensive load development to get them to shoot acceptably and even with that are never quite as good as most other options...

Is that the same with other solid copper options like the GMX etc... and comparably do the others perform as effectively on game?

Yeah I can't complain about the 140 Barnes TSX for the 7mm Rem Mag Here's my first shoot with them at 100 - These are the Factory Norma ones I - while I was building up my brass and having a shoot at the same time. These are now my Go To: Factory ammo for my shorter distance shots.

Federal Fusion were inaccurate up to 3MOA in some cases (by that remark I did only buy one packet to be honest), By comparison Federal Blue 150's SP.I could get grouping at 1 MOA or better regularly and they were cheaper, and devastating on goats...

Here's what I've managed to get them to.
