Has anybody used the Lehigh Brass Solid Bullets in 338 or any other caliber for that matter? If so,what was your experience with them?

Re: Brass Bullets ???
Have some info from friends using some of the .50 projo's and have had good luck with them but not sure that will cross over to the .338

Re: Brass Bullets ???
i got some .250" brass rod and turned out 40 .224 bullets that weighed 69-71 grains each, at 100 yd. they were great, at 200, mediocre, beyond that i have no idea and most likely will not experiment any further.

What,if anything did it do to your bore? Is the brass fouling much different than Copper fouling?Lehigh says they spin them at 8000rpm on a lathe,claim less pressure and a 50 fps velocity gain over 250gr jacketed bullets,the BC they claim is almost .891(don't quote me on that)but it is pretty high.

Re: Brass Bullets ???
as near as i can tell there was no adverse effects to the bore, the rifle i used to test it with still gives me silver dollar sized groups at 100 yd.
i have no idea what solid copper bullets would do in a .224 dia.
the solid copper Barnes bullets for my .499LWR is no different than a copper jacket bullet, but then the velocity is 1,000 FPS less too.

Re: Brass Bullets ???
Barnes sugegsts a longer jump with their solid copper projectiles, apparently to address pressure spike issues. I'm thinking similar tactics might show benefit with solid brass bullets. I have used factory handgun ammunition that would appear to have brass jacket materials, with no obviously different effects.
Beyond that, I'm guessing.
