[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 848989, member: 11717"] I do not have a lot of data on the subject, but from reading around, the larger CEB monos have performed quite well at extended ranges. Here's one thread on that... [url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f19/cutting-edge-bullets-terminal-performance-67985/[/url] 1300 yds is a long way. The smaller monos may require more velocity at the lower end, not sure about that, but I have some 6mm and 6.5 mm that' I'll be testing. Even so, when you get down to 1800 fps with the smaller bullets, you start to loose momentum and energy, so backing off a little for good performance may not be a bad idea. If you did nothing but insert a tip into the small HP meplat of the SMK, especially a pointy one, I have little doubt that it would act as an obstruction to expansion. The HP design is much better at initiating expansion than a tip, Unless you modify the tip/nose for a much wider meplat to accommodate a larger tip that will generate enough force to initiate expansion. Remove the tip and the expansion will be much more violent and will initiate down to much lower velocities. This is a fact. The HP cup and core bullets like the Bergers also perform very well down to lower elocities and maybe a little better than the monos. A lot has to do with how the bullet is designed and constructed. Some scoring of the tip can help facilitate the expansion as well. [/QUOTE]
