I've never used solid copper bullets. I use cheap Sierra bullets in most of my rifles and have had great luck with their accuracy and performance on game. 

I'm probably kinda a cheapskate but I find it hard to argue with success. 

I have been using the new Gamechanger bullets Sierra came out with. I think they are no more than a Gameking with a plastic tip. I can say they are accurate in the rifles I use them in. The 6.5X55 and .308.

I've also used Matchkings in the 6.5X55 on prairie dogs because they are unbelieveably accurate.
I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on.

Wing, I have never loaded or even shot a mono bullet either. I don't have anything against them really, just kind of the ain't broke don't fix it mentality. I have used Sierra GK and Hornay IL forever maybe a handful of Speers. Never lost a deer or felt accuracy was compromised. I know lots of guys that love the solids coppers, just never felt the need to change

MapleHill,

That's pretty much my feelings exactly.

Remember as the market saturated, the manufactures have to 'spin' something new.  Many people drink the Kool-aid!
