Even if the rifle bullet were a handgun bullet, it can still be solid copper. Copper is not on that list.

That is a good point. BUT, are these bullets really solid pure copper? In reality a lot of "copper" has a bit of beryllium in it, making it beryllium copper. I'm not sure about the bullets in the OP as Guncrafter Industries does not mention anything about their alloy. However, Barns says this about their alloy: "Machined from homogenous copper/zinc alloy, these indestructible bullets won’t disintegrate or deflect on heavy bone." A homogeneous alloy of copper and zinc is brass, and brass is on the list. I'm not sure what the difference between homogeneous and "homogenous" is but I suspect it is a distinction without a difference.

Edit to add link to Barns web site: http://www.barnesbullets.com/product...banded-solids/

Hey wait a minute....those javalina are mighty tasty. Just don't piss off mom when the piglets are with her. They're might grumpy types.

Rocker, I don't know the answer to that, and wondered the same thing when the Taurus solid copper bullets came out maybe a year or two before CorBon DPX made its debut. I guess there is some special dispensation maybe when the stuff is proven to not actually be capable of doing what tye're so worried about.

Lehigh had some new 30 caliber sub sonic bullets at SHOT. I'll try to post catalog pictures tomorrow. They are also had some pistol bullets that looked amazing. FWIW, they were also exceptionally nice guys.
