With Barnes all copper bullets being unavailable has anyone tried shooting Hornady .452 all copper Monoflex ML bullets? I see they are being stocked at some suppliers.

Reviews or comments.

I tried the 300 grain ones and ran out of pressure before I could get the velocity for the groups to tighten up. Range Report Link

Interestingly, I did get resized (458) 325gr bullets to shoot really well, so I don't think my 1:24 twist rifling was to blame. the 250 monoflex shot pretty much on par with the 250gr FTX IIRC.There are more reports buried here. Try this Google command:

I did a little experimenting with this bullet in Feb 2020. Unfortunately I ran into an unexpected pressure spike at 37.5 grains of Lil'Gun. This was in my Ruger Scout with its 16" twist. Accuracy was decent @ 2.5" v. .75" with factory 250FTX's. My chrony is down so i stopped all testing even though i caught these on 1/2 off. With out knowing velocity could not give a good test. Chrony is fixed but bad health keepn' test at a standstill.
