I have had good results from the Hornady gmx. But I know a lot of folks love the Barnes tsx and ttsx bullets

Same for all my hunting guns. Shoots great groups & have performed great on the animals myself and the fam have taken. Highly recommend. At the end of the days there are alot of good options out there now. Fed Trophy Copper, Nosler E-Tip, Hornady GMX and Im sure a few others. Barnes is the OG of copper bullets that I'm aware of and the most widely available in gun shops that I've found.

This squared^^^... unless you reload, then still use Barnes TSX, TTSX or LRX.

Must ask, why copper only bullets? They tend to foul a barrel very quickly.

Barnes copper bullets on my loading bench, TSX or TTSX.

yeah & try the lighter bullets if the traditional weight for calibers listed don't group well. We have a lvsf that we are going to try the 120's in to see if it doesn't take some of the bite out of that light rifle.

Hammer Bullets if you reload

I have had good results from the Barnes bullets, Hornady GMX and the Cavity Back bullets.

I hand load my ammo though.

I use Barnes TTSX in my 6.8spc with good results.

Another vote for the Barnes tsx it ttsx. The 120 grain bullets have been awesome out of my wife’s 7mm-08. I have shot them out of a 270 and 300 wsm with great performance and accuracy. To me they are a tough bullet and if I’m shooter deer or similar sized animals I aim right on the shoulder. They have been absolute killers on things like elk, red deer and bison. I killed my Alaskan brown bear with one shot and a 180 grain tsx.
