[QUOTE="jebel, post: 2019381, member: 106189"] Yes, in my experience using lighter monolithic bullets and pushing them faster than a typical lead bullet for the cartridge is what I have done for the last several years and it works very well. In general, monolithic bullets penetrate exceptionally well and typically exit the far side. That said, the innovations in monolithic bullets continues (just as in all bullets), so I would look into the specific monolithic of interest. They are not all designed to perform in the same manner any longer and you should get up to speed on the variety out there. I've hunted mostly with Barnes and now for the past couple years with Hammer bullets. [/QUOTE]
