My 50 Cal, knight UL has a 1:28 twist and I'm shooting Barnes TMZ , 0.241 BC, 290 grain copper bullets well and great for elk.

Are there high BC all copper bullets with a higher BC that would work in my 1:28 twist barrel?
Thanks Bill

What's the terminal performance like on game for those hollow point bullets that have the break-off blades?

I have tried a few of them in a water testing program. If you keep the velocity up they work awesome. but when the velocity drops below a given point not much happens.

I think Ron's test shows what I found. Above 1600 fps at impact the bullet works very well. At some point below 1600 fps impact - the bullet fails to perform. This test will show Ron's results and what I have found.
