[QUOTE="Laguna Freak, post: 2321418, member: 87188"] Being monolith ignorant; I’m curious, if Sg 1.5 is the approximate minimum, is there a maximum Sg factor? Is it possible to spin them fast enough to cause the rifling to excessively distort the bearing surface? Such would likely destroy accuracy and foul the bore in short order. Is it possible to spin fast enough to cause meplat petals to open before impact? I suppose that depends on the specific copper alloy used. Or would pressure get too high before that many rpm is generated? Every system has its limits. Seems the bullet manufacturers might have some applicable R&D experience. I’m looking for physical sciences or personal observation based responses. I have not researched monolithic bullets beyond reading personal observations on LRH. [/QUOTE]
