Copper

[Grant Sadler]

Just wanted to see if anyone has an idea how deep 300' of copper runs lets say at 2.5 s.o.g. compaired to full core of 27# lead

Thanks a bunch guys

Both posts on this site are useful pertaining to the depth that copper achieves.

I guess I missed the point, which is compairing copper to leadcore. I "heard" that copper is about 2/1 on it's dive to lead core. I always believed that LC was going down about 5' / color, and have heard more and more it's more like 4' ish. So if that is true it looks like it is roughly 2 : 1. Hope this helps.
