He didn’t say that.So a copper bullet performs just as well at long distance and at velocities below say 2000fps?
Horrible BCs, narrow expansion windows, small wound channelsIn what way has a copper work worse than a lead projectile for you?
I agree with 33% of that statement; the other 67% is velocity dependentHorrible BCs, narrow expansion windows, small wound channels

a small hole is just a small hole
I guess I consider a non expanding bullet to be one that stays the same shape through the entirety of terminal impact.They don’t expand, they’re a non expanding bullet by design
They shed some petals and the shank stays caliber sized neither function can be classified as expansion
That’s under ideal conditions if the hollow points aren’t too small and if the copper metallurgy for your batch is acceptably soft.

I dont recall anyone saying you cant kill with copper, the claim was made that terminal performance between copper and lead was equal which is clearly not true
You guys must be using the wrong copper bullets if you think that the terminal performance is inferior to lead.
They operate differently and thrive in different circumstances. Neither are bad or inferior just different.
You appear to have an emotional investment in this. I don’t. I’ve successfully used copper for 25 years now and never lost an animal I hit with a rifle. If I was a long range hunter I probably wouldn’t choose copper because of the limitations in this arena, unless I wanted a rifle that could drive them really fast. As it is, I don’t so it’s irrelevant to me.How about the part where he states that the terminal performance is equal?!?! Or the part where is says neither is inferior? But I guess if you want to nit pick he could be right...worse is in fact different
This is where folks are getting hung up: many of us would call that inferior ballistics, because distance/velocity is much more limiting in copper than lead.If I was a long range hunter I probably wouldn’t choose copper because of the limitations in this arena
