[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1608669, member: 75451"] tdot, I think that I’m in the minority here, but, I prefer to use mono’s that are equal to the typically accepted “normal” weight for a cup and core bullet! While you may gain an increase in initial velocity, it will quickly be lost at longer ranges to to a reduction in BC. Also, with the less mass of the lighter bullet....penetration may be compromised! I’m not yet be indoctrinated into the “high velocity” cult. My opinion, if you want “X” velocity from “X” caliber, .....use a bigger case and burn more powder! Do not go to a light for caliber bullet! memtb [/QUOTE]
