Thanks. Understood - as the hydro is made of brass? will it not wear more on the rifling than the standard copper jacket soft/solid?
Hydro's are a copper alloy. My rifles show no more fouling than with standard cup and core bullets.
With the monomental bullets different makers use different grades or alloy's in the copper and same with those made of brass, so I am told. It would be safer using the Hydros than Barnes as the Barnes are not bore riders. Yet plenty of people use Barnes or similar in old sporting rifles.
