[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2019922, member: 75451"] I’m not a fan of dropping bullet weight, just to gain a little velocity. However, if the ranges encountered will not be benefited with a higher BC, or the bullet will be solely used on smaller/lighter structured big game ....go with a little lighter bullet. For our (wife and self) applications, with the potential for longer shots and a variety of game sizes and structure, we use mono’s of weights resembling conventional cup and core bullets. Using the heavier bullets affords us, through better BC’s, better trajectories, higher retained velocities and energies. From our limited experience, big (as in heavier) bullets appear to kill smaller big game just fine! memtb [/QUOTE]
