[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1354811, member: 30902"] Unlike many others I'd tell you to move up in weight rather than down with monlithics. You give up about 10% BC and energy with bullets the same size due to lower density. If y you're loading a drive band bullet like the Peregrine it allows you to push them much harder due to the lower friction. The heavier bullet moving faster just hits much harder and has the higher BC vs shooting the lighter bullet. Yes they are a good bit longer than cup and core bullets of the same weight but since they are not at all sensitive to seating depth, at least not that I've found so far loading them for five different calibers and eight different rifles. Now everyone needs to work their own loads up carefully but when struggling to find load data for comparable bullets I've found that if I'm loading for example a 140gr 6.5 for my .260's I can look to load data for the lead core bullets in the 130gr class. Use your own best judgement, start low and work up slow looking for pressure signs. [/QUOTE]
