My two biggest doubts are the claim that the cavity back allows more powder to be loaded.

Have also become a little leery of monos with very small hollow-points over the years, having seen more than one fail to open properly--the reason I much prefer plastic-tipped monos. (Large-caliber monos with big hollow points have always opened well.)


JB, the hollow point is pretty small, but they also have very defined pre-skived petals. which facilitate quick opening. In all the gel tests I was part of and all of the wound channels I have seen on game, I have yet to see evidence that one didn't open. The only thing I have ever caught in an animal was a petal from a 6.8mm bullet on a large Texas pig that was shot at a quartering-to angle.
