[QUOTE="pods8, post: 986529, member: 83233"] Barnes mono bullets are longer for the weight than a lead core bullet, if they didn't have the bands the bearing surface (ie friction) would be greater. The bands seems to help reduce that though, in general so far in my experience they are a slight bit slower. I'm working up a 168gr TTSX in 30-06 right now, 165gr sierra SPBTs run in the 2830-2850fps range for me depending on which manufacturer's case. The 168gr TTXS in running about 2800-2820range. Comparing my 139/140gr lead loads in my 7mm-08 vs. the 145gr LRX I'm seeing more like 50-70fps speed reduction. [/QUOTE]
