[QUOTE="M Rosslee, post: 1194199, member: 94998"] A few annoying consumer suggestions in respect of monolythics after a lot of shooting of my own would be research around: 1. Better form with lower drag and better BC (longer nose/point from ogive to tip of bullet and higher angle in boat tail) with a reduced bearing surface (there is surely no reason for a turned/CNC'd bullet to have a different construction to the match-style bullets) ; 2. Dual-metal bullets - with a heavy, hard-turned base with the bullet house's style and a softer metal nose/tip for reliable but robust expansion and folding around the turned base (steady expansion will assist in maintaining course during travel through soft tissue and organs); 3. Higher sectional densities (heavy for caliber bullets) rather than the lighter stuff which tends to deflect change course of travel easily due to standard rifle twist ratios being unmatched for that bullet performance and the majority of hunters using standard factory rifles. Have there been dual-metal experiments? And would Hammer ever consider advancing the idea? [/QUOTE]
