Are you saying a .001" of clearance is OK with monos? Monos or not, I always allow enough clearance. Also, I don't particularly appreciate touching the land. I have all kinds of monos, but C&Cs are my preferred bullets.Another reason for a mono, especially in a heavy recoil rifle. Before I changed to mono's, by the time I got to the last round in the magazine……the bullet tips were so badly "flattened", I expected to see that the jacket had started to open!memtb
Below is a 117 Cayuga in my .257 WBY. .020" off the lands and .178" mag clearance.
Below is 145 Black Hole, also in .257 WBY. .020" off the lands and .189" mag clearance.
Another one with 163 Chinchaga, .015" off the lands, and .170" mag clearance.
