So I understand the idea is to keep the bullets going supersonic as long and far as possible, known as effective range. And then on top of this the .408 is advertised as being able to cross back into subsonic flight without losing very much accuracy.
The way I read things now, it appears that they're all in the same ballpark?
If You guys were to rank them in the two categories how would it go?
Performance:
#1
#2
#3
#4
Affordability:
#1
#2
#3
#4

Also, why do they make bullets of copper or copper alloys? Wouldn't the light weight slow down very quickly? (Tres Haute Vitess?)
