[QUOTE="Batsin, post: 3030514, member: 126867"] Just be aware that monometal copper alloy bullets typically require a faster twist than lead core of comparable weight. Lead is about 25% more dense than copper and stability depends upon overall bullet construction and shape more than weight. For example, Wilson loads 150 grain lead core bullets for the 300 Ham'r but 125 grains is the biggest mono bullet. You just might want to check the bullets you plan to use with a twist calculator to be safe. [/QUOTE]
