Please elaborate Beans. Everything I have seen or read including manufacturers recommendations tells me the mono's require as a rule higher velocities to expand properly as compared to cup and core bullets.

This is what my statement was based on, but I'm sure there are other factors too. Remember, I drink paint...
Everyone knows I love speed and I whole heartedly believe "Speed Kills" and use push the lint with everything but I have and have seen a bunch of different monos shot at "normal speeds and they worked as prescribed, just stay with the advertised minimum velocity and Let Her Eat. Just to be clear it's my opinion so take it for what it's worth

Ok that makes sense. The thing is their recommended velocities are usually substantially higher than the comparable cup and core bullets.
Wait I thought @ButterBean switched over to the more modern and balisticly efficient 6.5creedmoor....

He was "gifted" with one…you're making it seem like the whole thing was HIS idea!!!!
A fast twist 1:8 .270 Win is different animal, plenty of threads on it. Max COAL is another critical factor if shooting longer heavier higher BC bullets. If you can't get the longer COAL prob can't take advantage of max capability but still much better.
Min expansion velocity of bullets is another rabbit hole. Animal, angle of animal, angle of shot etc. Nosler Accubond bullet minimal velocity is exactly the same as Hammer bullets of 1800 fps. The ABLR is entirely different bullet that has impact min velocity of 1300 fps versus 1800!
"the AccuBond® -LR bullet was designed to have a minimum impact velocity of 1300fps in order to reliably expand or mushroom at those much longer distances, compared to the 1800fps minimum impact velocity of all other Nosler® hunting bullets."

That is another thread to search.
@ButterBean @FEENIX are go to's for .270 AI's! I sure would try to pick their brains!

AccuBond® Long Range Bullets
AccuBond Long Range bullets were developed in response to the escalating demand from long-range hunters who were asking for a hunting bullet that could keep up with today’s level of high-grade optics and ultra-high velocity cartridges in order to stretch practical shooting yardages past 1,000 yards.

That's just uncalled for
It's the shape of the original stock. Bites the shoulder hard. Check Boyds Stocks for good yet affordable laminates or walnut. Or, many other stock manufacturers will make one for you. 721 is a predecessor to the uber-popular 700, and those stocks can even be modified to fit by a smith. But most stock makers should be able to inlet for your rifle.
It makes a HUGE difference. Really.
And, regarding post #33: my stock change doesn't need or use a recoil pad. Steel plate, yet NO ISSUE! Comfy! Round after round.
