Andrew Venables has more experience with the comparison between lead and copper ammunition than perhaps anyone else in the UK. In this short film he discusses reaction to shot with copper bullets. Also meat damage with chest shot deer, how to minimise it, and how our opinions may have to alter as we approach a non-lead future.

HOW TO FIND WHAT’S RIGHT FOR YOU

After watching the film above you might be interested in the below. Andrew Venables and Tim Pilbeam test a wide variety of non-lead bullets from various manufacturers for their terminal ballistics at different distances with a broad range of rifles and calibers.

The relevant timings are:

0.00min - 10.35min

12.40min - 16.50min

26.35min - 31.45min

“If we don’t have to change - great. If we do we have made Fieldsports more resilient.”
