[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2110816, member: 87243"] Ya they do, but there are some impressive monos too, and since he is running a short barrel it makes sense to go lighter to try to make up some speed, and with the eight bullet your not sacrificing any bc. For 30 cal, badlands has a 205 grain with a better bc than the 230, and not far behind the 245, G7 of .402 and G1 of .785. PVA also has a 210 mono with a .360 G7 and .750 G1, about the same as the 230. So there is quite a bit to gain from some of them even trajectory wise. I still run bergers in some guns don't get me wrong, but in some cases the lead core bullets are getting spanked bc wise from monos. Didn't seem to care much, mine were .060" off in one gun, .030" off in another, but only ran one seating test and only saw minor gain. Every gun is different though of course, so ymmv. [/QUOTE]
