Take That, Copper...

"Whose looked at the all-copper bullets like Corbon has..."

Lots of people love them. Many of the one's that love them, are selling them. The rest are the one's who believe the one's that are selling them.

But seriously, you'd be hard pressed to find any of the aficionado's bragging about expansion, because there's to date not much to brag about. Magtech has been making copper bullets for a time, and when fired from a G-23, in .40 caliber but of course, mushroom to the tune of .66". PMC Starfire and/or Federal HST's will do .8" when impacting the same medium. Or extra-large, for that matter. They all remain pricey and its only going to get worse as the ammo makers lie, strike that, report upon the rising cost of metals.

The Cor-Bon hook has been about penetration, penetration, then more penetration. This would seem to imply that if penetration is your goal you should look into them.
