From my experience and reading what Model70guy reports, I don't know if monos, "faster the better" , is an open ended principle.

Intuitively, maybe. But where the rubber meets the road, maybe not.

One poster mentioned needing an S.D. above .20, whereas some of the lighter Barnes mentioned, S.D.s fall below that value.

So, seems to me, too small a mono, driven too fast can have less effective terminal ballistics than one would think.

I doubt Model70guy uses that combo again.

Hypervelocity, low S.D. monos are no longer on my radar.
