Convince me to shoot monolithics again

Below 1,800’ish fps impact- extremely narrow winds barely above caliber size most of the time. At 2,000fps sometimes caliber size, sometimes 1/2”.

Well, that scraps that plan. Thanks for the reply.

At 250y it is doing 2400fps. That works.

Yep. 2400fps is a good minimum to avoid disappointment.

I haven’t seen this mentioned but another factor with Monos is twist rate. Faster twist rate barrels that put more rotation spin on the bullet result in the same bullet opening up more at an equivalent velocity. This has been shown in gel testing.

If you're looking for a lead free alternative to ELDM and similar then the DRT Terminal Shock is what you want. Not really a "mono" though.

Any experience with the DRT in 6.5 Creedmoor? I'm concerned about wound channels being too big (much more than 2-3in).
