Tin Bullets

[elkchaser54]

Anyone ever heard of these before ? I like the idea of not using lead in my animals that I eat, so I've switched to an all copper bullet but saw these new style of bullets from Norma shooting and am intrigued.  A tin bullet with a nickel jacket.  It is super light 139g bullet for a 300 win Mag, I rarely shoot long distances passed 300 yards so copper holds enough knockdown power for me.

An additional benefit would be very low recoil with that light of bullet!

Seems like a trendy hype. What benefit other than non tox? Tin is similar in weight to iron, and we know the struggles in the waterfowling world very well. The trend has been to heavy for caliber bullets. Maybe a close range bullet they are? Always imagined a heavy for caliber tungsten bullet with a soft jacket and ability to expand. It wouldn't require the faster twist rates needed for longer lead bullets.
