[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 2467253, member: 66917"] If you find a mono that shoots to your desired accuracy level, remember you bullet velocity needs to be high enough to perform on the animal. The general rule of thumb with the Barnes monos is around 2000 fps is needed to provide proper expansion so the bullet does enough damage. I have not used or researched hammers, but I would assume since they are solid copper the number is likely around 2000 fps. This is a failure realized by long range hunters/shooters with both lead core and monos having a bullet going too slow to expand at the target. So, when I use the Barnes 127gr LRX in my 6.5 PRC I limit my max range to 700 yards as this is where the bullet runs down to 2000 fps. Good luck finding a bullet that shoots great in your rifle.
