[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1924284, member: 108965"] It is widely known that at longer diatances monolithic bullet can and in cases will fail to expand, it even happens at higher velocities. You have to push them fast, really fast if you want them to expand as required. Which means you need to go with a lighter bullet, 130gr will work best and since they retain most weight it will almost equal to using 150gr to 160gr cup and core bullet after those lose some during penetration. Hammer bullets is another option to consider if they fall under your budget, they are expensive but you can hunt with them and practice with other bullets. Which ever mono you pick you are best going lighter in bullet weight and push them as fast as possible. [/QUOTE]
