What's the point of a solid copper bullet for subsonic loads? Traditional jacketed bullets, and cast bullets, are typically non-expanding anyway, so it's not like you're gaining anything in penetration. If anything, you want less penetration, not more.

I was wondering that too, and all I could come up with was maybe they're useful in lead-free areas.

Similar to Lehigh, it appears they are designed to expand at subsonic velocities.

Not the solid bullets. The hollow point version makes sense, the solid does not, except maybe in lead-free areas as pointed out above.

What's with all the links, instead of just posting here and answering questions in your own thread?

Got it, I hadn't seen the solid ones, I only noticed the expanding and segmenting like Lehigh.

its amazing how many people do not understand this concept. they really think they want something to pass through undamaged what so ever and continue on to hit unintended targets.
