Are solid/monolithic bullets more finicky than jacketed?

[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1579248, member: 8873"] Not all mono bullets are created equal, just like cup-n-core. The Hammer and Cutting Edge bullets I’ve used were easy to load for, not having to mess with seating depth. Where as Barnes (tsx, ttsx) and Hornady GMX took some playing around with. Other folks may have different experience with them. The Hammer and CEB seem to be softer copper/alloy. If long (or extreme long) range is the goal your options are the 350 Matchking and then monos. Build it with a tight enough twist for the heaviest (longest) mono you may use. One of my barrels has an 8” twist to stabilize all the way up to the 425 grain Lazer. [/QUOTE]
