[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 2912959, member: 94491"] So that pretty much backs up the "typical mono" information....due to the length/weight ratio of mono's--- you can not run the same weight class of mono that you can in lead core due to twist rates....therefore if you can run a 170-180 lead core for your twist, you can usually only run 140 class monos and a 140 mono usually doesn't have as high a bc as a 180 lead core. Unfortunately you just can't directly compare a lead core to a mono, that's just the way it is. I'm not saying monos are inferior, they are just different.....I use monos for hunting as long as my intended max range is within the monos operational specs-- but when it comes to stretching out a cartridge, a heavy for caliber will often times have a further operational range. If you want full custom rifles with custom barrels and fast twist rates then you can run heavy monons--- but then again you could still run a heavier lead core bullet [/QUOTE]
