[QUOTE="edge, post: 848967, member: 5030"] " nothing beats a lath turned mono." Clearly a well produced mono will be concentric, but when velocity degrades I am not so sure they would open as consistently as a tipped bullet. "In order to make a tip function as an expander you have to cut away part of the bullets nose so you get enough surface area from the tip pushing against the nose of the bullet. When you replace that with poly, you lower the SD of the bullet the BC slightly." That would depend on the tip style. For instance a SMK has quite a hollow section before you get to the lead and a tip may actually add SD in some instances. Since this is LRH IMO, the first criteria is accuracy followed closely by the ability of the bullet to open at a reduced velocity and a small hollow monometal bullet would probably be down on my list. I am not saying they are a bad choice, probably there are very few bad choices, heck if you could shoot a mono lead bullet fast enough and it would hold its shape that would be almost ideal out at the sub sonic end of a bullets flight :) edge.
