Best copper or bronze mono-metal bullet for expansion?

Running the numbers through the Berger Twist calculator the 240 is marginally stable at sea level with an 1-8" twist.
It's 2.037" long, the 230 is only 1.866" long and is stabilized with an 1-8".

Gday memtb
Your " brain stormed "is basically why I have trouble pulling you apart On your choices
Yes "lethality factor " is covering bases in my world even when things go bad with your pill of choice it kills

To give you a great example on that on my last lot of bovine tests I did on a cull
Had numerous 6.5 pencils ( multiple brands ) & unless the pill itself tumbled the killing efficiency was extremely poor moved to the 375 cal ( 1 brand ) & when it penciled killing efficiency was still poor imo but a hell of a lot better & id have to look up specific times but it's a lot
Now the 6.5 tumbling pills sometimes killed fairly well but erratic it was & eventually was the same as I've observed numerous times before & that is a tumbling pill will let you down more than a pill that works as designed
Really another subject for another day but a interesting one none the less

Keep on your " narrow minded" view as it gives us all a reality check of the basics of killing efficiency to cover those bases

Cheers

Tumbling pills,
Fordy,have you ever tried Fort Scott muntions TUI's? Designed by Federal in the 60's to kill beyond shooting through door post and windshields on vehicles. VERY,very accurate in multiple 6mm's.
Needle sharp point,you can not carry in pocket. It becomes candie cane shape at 400m same as it did at 100yds in sand berms.
Shot a nice Kansas buck,excactly 300 yards with their 243win 90 gr,tiny hole in,mush in broiler room,took a rib out,out hole size of pop can,then lop an inch branch of cedar tree 20 yards behind it,but a good 10' right of deer.Never tried it again,something about it.

The 1:6" or faster twist rate recommendation might be a typo; perhaps they meant 1:8" or faster. Just like the 230s (https://cuttingedgebullets.com/prod...ollow-point-50ct?_pos=32&_fid=a0b72cf05&_ss=c). Have you asked CEB directly? @Samantha-CEB.

Here's what I got from CEB this AM.

It's definitely not a typo. The 240gn CE is huge, and how long it loads when you don't put the band in the neck is a bit crazy. I have a mock up of a 30-338 Lapua with one in it somewhere to show it against a 245 Berger, but I plan on using them in 30 XC.

According to the above post they're being discontinued!!

Not a concern for me, I have something like 2k of them still

Ha no it wasn't all at once, nor at today's prices. I've been stockpiling for years, mainly tacking on to backorders of 400gn 375 Lazers. Those things are some of the most popular ELR bullets made, when you can get those you get all you can. I've waffled over my Mega-30 so many times I have stashes of everything for it. I finally decided to put the 30-338 LIMP into an 8 twist HV to shoot the 230gn CEs, and saved the big 6 twist tube for the 30XC. Part of me still wants to size down Cheytac brass and put the tube on a Noreen single shot action. But Kirby has been there, done that, and apparently it wasn't all it was cracked up to be.

CE is a great company to work with, Samantha is always fantastic when you call.
