[QUOTE="mcdil, post: 2622360, member: 112571"] Franko21, As a formerly "heavy for caliber" Nosler Partition shooter myself, it can be difficult to understand how to choose a mono-metal bullet for your application. As a bullet manufacturer, mono-metal bullets at that, I can make that a bit easier, at least as it relates to the important criteria. From your questions above: Question 1 Answer - For Apex Outdoors bullets, the simple answer is choose your projectile based on twist rate of your rifle. That simple. We list the weight of our bullets third. First is caliber followed by twist rate. That is the order of importance. Question 2 Answer - Don't do this without the proper twist rate. Stay with the appropriate twist rate. This will always matter more than what you're perceiving the advantage of heavier would provide. Monos, at least properly designed ones, perform completely differently than a cup and core bullet. Question 3 Answer - I'm always a big fan of displacement, but all of our Afterburner bullets, regardless of caliber, will perform much larger than what would normally be expected. Check out my recent post on a bear taken with our 30 cal 153gr bullet for terminal performance, etc. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/black-bear-with-the-153gr-afterburner-523-yards.311703/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
