As the name implies I’m not asking for a lead vs Monolithic debate. I am interested in your monolithic preferences.
Monolithic bullets have piqued my interest (Thanks Hornady Podcast). I am interested in trying a monolithic in .243 Win. It has the speed necessary but could benefit from 99% weight retention after expansion. If I could find them I would try Hornady 6mm 90gr CX.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say some of the more popular manufacturers of Monolithics.
Barnes
Hornady
Nosler
Hammer Bullets
Cutting Edge Bullets
Lehigh Defense
In my local (Nebraska) stores as you can guess Hornady is the most available although the brand new CXs aren’t terribly common. And a scattering of Barnes are available.
Prices is near as makes no difference on the two. I just want to hear some opinions, some experiences with monolithics. I posted this in the Hunting forum rather than the handloading forum as I wanted to hear the hunter’s perspective. The good, the bad, the ugly.
Thanks Y’all.
