And if you want to shoot a lighter bullet on game for less recoil and flatter trajectory, even in a moderate-capacity chambering, the use of a mono bullet can grant you better odds of penetration versus a stubby and light-for-caliber cup/core. Of course, this assumes moderate distances so that impact velocity is still sufficient, like Blacktailer says. I've killed several deer and hogs inside 250yds with tipped, lightweight mono bullets that were only started at 2,700 to 2,800fps (light handloads). They caused enough damage and punched out with good exits.
