[QUOTE="snox801, post: 2306873, member: 54383"] Monos are a bit different as the need less weight to be very effective. What I usually do is take the FPS needed to open the bullet and see where that puts me. Most of the time the high bc bullet drops below that FPS in the same ballpark as a lighter faster bullet. Yes they do fall short of many on the bc list but they are a hunting bullet and that being said would you really wanna try a elk at 800-1000 with a .270? Don’t take it the wrong way as I’m not meaning this to be one of those threads just the process I use to determine what bullets to use for hunting. I was chasing bc my whole life to a long 2 hour conversation with Steve from hammer and I finally tried them. They really punch above the weight class. If your are comfortable with your sst I would stick with that it will open up easy on longer shots as long as you hit your mark. And no matter what bullet a bad shot is a bad shot. [/QUOTE]
