[QUOTE="bert2368, post: 2698196, member: 93675"] Re: pressure, velocity and mono metal bullets? In my experience, I've had to back off due to pressure signs and use less than book max loads EVERY time I've worked up loads, so far that has shown up in .221 Rem Fireball, .223/5.56, 6.5-284 NORMA, 6.5X57 Swede Mauser, 300 BO (supersonic loads) and 30-06. The only variety I've loaded are solid copper rifle bullets by Barnes in .223, 6.5mm and .308. Their TSX and TTSX lines in several weights. I choose to use these bullets for their terminal effects (most particularly in 6.5mm), not because they are getting me hyper velocities. I don't usually even get them up to the max velocities I can run lead cored bullets at- They're not as compressible, my theory. I have NOT tried "slippery" bullet coatings or other workarounds.
