Quick related question. Why do monos like more jump?
My quick thought is solid copper is more resistant to forming than cup & core so the pressure required to get the bullet to form into the rifling is higher than a jacketed bullet. If seated too close to the lands there would be a larger pressure spike when it hits the lands.
If thats the case, I would also think monos run slower than cup & core(assuming equalish shape and same weight & charge) because more energy is consumed forcing the bullet into the bore.
Am I way off?
