Great bullets! Typically have a higher ballistic coefficient than Barnes. Have been as accurate or better than the factory loaded Barnes that I've shot in my 308 and 06. Minimum expansion velocity is 1800 ft./s, as is Barnes TSX/TTSX [I sick closer to 2000 FPS with the Monolithic's]. I prefer Barnes and Trophy coppers over Hornady GMX's and Nosler E-tips. You can't go wrong with the Fed's IMO and they are cheaper. Another great bullet is the Federal Trophy bonded tip. Lead bullet combined with a copper shank so you get best of both worlds with expansion and penetration.
