[QUOTE="fiftybmg, post: 1842478, member: 96316"] The twist definitely need tightening for equivalent weight monos. A lot of people try monos at the same weight as their lead cores, and if they are already at the upper end of bullet weight, they find no accuracy and assume monos are a dud. Roughly 20% depending on the exact alloy - for a 100 grain mono, you need a twist that stabilises a 120 grain lead core. In the end, the bullet weight is similar, it's not a case of using over-weight bullets for caliber. [/QUOTE]
