Daryl, the issue arose because Duggaboy brought it up related to your handloading data. I believe he was concerned that somebody might take the data froma book, use the mono bullet and use it in a Baikal. I think that is a legitimate concern since somebody might want to use monos in .45-70, maybe '06?

Thanks for the issues brought, gents.

500grains, the issue you bring up has actually been addressed by Barnes who state they have used strain gauges and determined that no expansion of the barrel takes place.

If it does, as you point out, hard steel jacket solids probably do it, too.

This is the point possibly 450366 can address in his test which if he can do it.
