[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1513343, member: 30902"] There are several good mono's on the market that have been mentioned, all will perform. How cost effective it is depends on how much you plan to shoot. These bullets are made one at a time on a lathe, not stamped out of sheet's, heated and filled with lead on an assembly line like traditional lead core bullets. Most of these mono's being mentioned will go through 3-6 or more different machining processes before they are complete. You simply can't do that for the same money you can make traditional lead core jacketed bullets. To me what makes them "cost effective" is the fact I don't end up trying four or five different bullets before I get lucky and find one, maybe two that my rifle likes and knowing that as long as I do my part at the reloading bench and behind the trigger the bullets will do the job every time. How "cost effective" is it to spend your precious few days off a year or pay for an expensive hunt out of the country or guided hunt in country if the half price bullet let's you down when that critical shot at a "one in a lifetime trophy" or worse, on what you were going to be living off of for the next week while continuing to hunt? I've always been a cheapskate that'll haggle a rattlesnake right out of his skin but I won't let the cost of bullets deter me from shooting a quality bullet I know will do the job every time.
