[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1607915, member: 13632"] I've shot both Barnes, Cutting Edge and Hammers for monos and I shoot a lot of Berger's, ELD's and some Accubonds, my preferred bullet for lethality and accuracy are the Berger's and Hammers, I don't subscribe to the light and fast mono method because of the numbers of deflections or flat penetration stop on heavy game like elk that I've had when doing so, I have not been able to get a hammer to deflect or stop penetrating bit it's function by design is superior to any other mono I've shot. I will run a faster twist rate just so I can shoot a heavier mono though my longer range bullet from the Berger line doesn't need it BUT you do have to keep the monos spun up so they have terminal stability in the game so I do put more importance on the right bullet for the twist rate with a mono than a cup conventional bullet. I've not gotten a Hammer to turn direcrion, Barnes and CE I could get them to turn, I had a CE turn 90 degrees in an elks neck and exit the top of the spine, fortunately it turned in the center and still cut the spinal cord but it didn't break it's neck. For close range, precision shooting for a neck or head shot the Hammer would be my go to!! [/QUOTE]
