[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1538136, member: 30902"] You'll like RL26 and RL33. My latest load for RL33 with the 6.5LRM had me shooting 3 shot cloverleafs at 200yds pushing the Interbonds at 3400. Peregrine is the best designed monolithic I've yet come across, without getting long winded the way the brass tip works it creates essentially a shape charge in the open cavity below guaranteeing consistent expansion across a broad range of velocities wile also working like a traditional tipped bullet as well physically forcing the hollow point tip to open. The latest batch I received was VLR4's and VLR5 prototypes. Accuracy has been good with all of them but it is the consistent, controlled, limited expansion that is by far their best feature. If you want to try them I have some I can send you to give a ride. I've found that using Barnes load data for starting loads works very well. Keep in mind though that with Mono's due to the difference in density they require a faster twist rate than lead core bullets of similar weight because they are so much longer. [URL]http://peregrinebullets.co.za/vlr4/[/URL] I'm sold enough on them that as long as I can get them in the right weights I won't shoot anything else. When I can't I'll just shoot Interbonds. Because of the crazy inconsistency I've seen in expansion in the Swift Siroccos as much as I like the way they fly I'm done shooting them at game period. I've had them flatten out like a silver dollar and make 90 degree turns off track and it almost cost me a monster wildebeest and a very nice warthog. A few years ago I hit a medium sized WT Buck between the 2nd and 3rd rib, just above the sternum broadside and the bullet deflicted straight up into the spine. Best I can tell the jackets and the lead allow they are using are just too soft. [/QUOTE]
