I just completed another cull hunt, this time on fallows and reds. Two shooters, 3 calibers, 7 bullets, 500 animals. Of interest to this thread was the 80 grain TTSX loaded up to 3950 fps in a .257 Weatherby. Not to mince words, a more worthless POS is harder to imagine.
Nothing like real world experience to shed light on ignorant prejudice. Thanks for this heads up.
Monos may not have a theoretical velocity ceiling, but performance on game may not always correspond to expectation.
"Real world experience", yep.
It's where the rubber meets the road...

Edited to add this link discussing, "can you push a TTSX too fast"...
www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/12175394/1I think you can, depending on the bullet. This seems to be yet another example of just that.
Balance... Need to balance, mass vs. velocity for optimal terminal performance.
Common sense.
Maybe some lighter monos do have a practical velocity ceiling.
