We here in California are soon (2019) to be required to use non lead bullets statewide so I'm curious who has used them, what brands, and how they preform? I've tried Barnes and gonna try Hornady GMX and the Nosler E Tip I don't know of any others.

The company is "Cutting Edge Bullets" Look them over and decide if you want to try them out or not. cuttingedgebullets.com/?SID=kad4oq8r4h2usl79sj58b6ih27

Give me a place to stand and a long-enough lever, and I will invariably break the lever.

Bob, speaking of Handloader, it seems to me I've seen a bunch of data in recent issues about these lead free bullets. I don't keep my back issues-I pass them to another guy-but if you do, it might be worth a glance. I honestly haven't paid too much attention, given that New Hamster doesn't seem to be moving in that direction so far.
