Part of the Barnes solid copper line.
Upper left, 7mm Triple Shock eXpanding (TSX), solid copper hollow point with flat base, 160gr
Upper right, 7mm Maximum Range eXpanding (MR-X), solid copper hollow point front half, tungsten matrix back core with boat tail. 160gr (I think this is discontinued, figures!)
Bottom, 7.62/.308 Tipped Triplex Shock eXpanding bullet (TTSX), 150 and 168gr (150gr mushroom)
(From personal experience, the solid coppers seem not to destroy the meat as much as the conventional lead cored ballistic tips do. But your shot placement must be spot on.)

Neat.

I have been asked to point out that I am LaRue Tactical's owner.
My work has been used by tens of thousands of US Military personnel,
and tens of thousands of civilian shooters - ML

Just to clarify are you saying that the solid copper with the ballistic tips perform better in meat than the hollow point copper solids? Or are you talking about other ballistic tip bullets?

Sorry, corrected what I said in original post. Meant conventional lead core ballistic tips destroy the meat more, by over expanding and fragmenting.
