Copperbear bullets are premium, lead-free hunting projectiles manufactured in Sweden by ExCaliber AB, designed to combine match-grade accuracy with reliable terminal performance. These bullets are made from a single piece of copper (monolithic construction), making them environmentally friendly and compliant with modern non-lead hunting regulations. Their design typically features a hollow-point boat-tail (HPBT) configuration, which enhances aerodynamics and stability in flight while promoting controlled expansion upon impact.

A defining characteristic of Copperbear bullets is their balance between precision and terminal effectiveness. They are engineered to expand to roughly twice their original diameter while retaining nearly 100% of their weight, resulting in deep penetration, consistent wound channels, and minimal fragmentation. Additionally, features such as reduced bearing surface and optimized grooves help lower barrel friction and recoil, improving shooting comfort and barrel longevity. Overall, Copperbear bullets are positioned in the high-performance segment of the hunting market, appealing to reloaders and hunters who prioritize accuracy, sustainability, and reliable performance across a wide range of calibers.

About Copper Bear load data on XXL Reloading

This page collects every Copper Bear bullet we hold reloading data for, grouped by caliber and bullet weight. Each caliber and bullet combination links to a detail page with powder-by-powder load recipes: powder brand and type, start and maximum charge weight in grains and grams, case fill ratio, calculated peak chamber pressure, muzzle velocity and the barrel length the load was computed for.

Unlike a manufacturer's own tables, our Copper Bear data is generated with an inner-ballistics engine across the full powder range, so you can compare many powders side by side for the same bullet instead of the handful a single load manual prints. Charge weights, pressures and velocities are modelled consistently, which makes cross-powder and cross-caliber comparison meaningful when you work up a load.

Use the caliber and bullet-weight filters above to narrow the list, switch to the Bullets tab to browse the Copper Bear product range, and open any combination to see the full load table. All data is calculated reference data for experienced handloaders: always start at the minimum charge, work up carefully in your own rifle, and cross-check against current published data before firing.
