Eric sits down with Sam from McGuire Ballistics for a deep dive into all-copper hunting bullets and what really happens from the moment the trigger is pulled to impact on an animal.

They break down bullet construction, expansion, weight retention, ballistic coefficient, velocity, impact speed, penetration, shot placement, and terminal performance. Sam also explains why copper bullets behave differently than traditional lead-core bullets and what hunters need to understand when choosing the right bullet and caliber.

The conversation also gets into California's lead-free hunting requirements, common misconceptions about copper ammunition, real-world performance on pigs and big game, and how bullet design can matter just as much as caliber.

If you've ever wondered whether copper bullets really hit harder, penetrate deeper, or perform better on game, this episode gives you the technical explanation and real hunting experience behind the answer.
