However bullet weight is only part of the equation, how it's made and what it is made of is equally important. For example, one can load a monolithic bullet, made entirely of copper, that is 85 grns in weight. But , because copper is lighter than lead, it will be as long as say a 100 gr lead core bullet so jump to the lands isn't an issue. Equally important, it will retain weight and give terminal performance (penetration and shock) equal to or greater than the 100 gr lead bullet. Yet it's velocity will be greater resulting in flatter trajectory.
Is such a bullet available now? Yes the Barnes TYSX.
