[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 2009277, member: 64108"] You will need a faster than normal 10 twist barrel for the 200 grain class monos. I have shot Barnes and various non leads for many years and have gone to a softer alloy copper like Hammer and Cutting Edge as they have the best of both lead and copper properties for expansion, and don't hit pressure as fast. Check out this thread of what happened with the very hard copper Badlands 275 grain .338 bullet, I feel it is too hard of copper and needs a faster than 9 twist to keep from tumbling when it hit; [URL]https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/badlands-precision-bullets-thread-from-bc-to-terminal-ballistics.245696/page-6[/URL] My 300 RUM with a 7 twist with a 227 Hammer left a nice exit on a 986 yard shot, cow was quartered towards me so the entrance was about 6" forwards on the opposite side.[ATTACH type="full" alt="cow1.jpg"]221932[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
