[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 667337, member: 30902"] I don't think that problem is as severe as it used to be. When for example the first bans on lead shot came out we quickly discovered that Steel just didn't cut the mustard because it was less dense than Lead. Similarly with the early monometal bullets it didn't matter how the bullet looked you just couldn't get the same density in the same sized projectile as you could with traditional bullets. When we look today at the SD's of the modern monometal bullets they are indeed much, much better but they still just don't seem to fly quite as well as the lead/copper jacketed bullets. One problem we get into in these discussions is that the average shooter cannot shoot well enough to do a true side by side comparison because they either lack the skill or the equipment for true precision no matter what they are shooting. It's a very, very small percentage of shooters that have both the skill and equipment to really judge the differences in bullet performance especially at long range. We are really fortunate here to have quite a few people who contribute to this site that have both which makes it a great resource. [/QUOTE]
