Abstract

The article presents information on certain newly developed bullets that can be used for hunting. Barnes' original X-Bullets were based on a very simple idea--that if one makes a solid-copper bullet, he gets rid of all the problems involved in sticking a lead core into a hunk of copper. But all-copper construction created a new problem. Since copper is much lighter than lead, X-Bullets had to be much longer than conventional slugs. Winchester Supreme Elite XP3 is a premium all-around big-game bullet that provides fine accuracy, good penetration and expansion at all ranges, and a high ballistic coefficient.
