Is it safe to use monolithic bullets in combination guns?
20/07/16 04:51 AM

I have three combination guns of relatively modern manufacture. The oldest a BRNO in 7X57R is 1960's era. The Blaser in 7X65R is probably early 2000's and the Zoli in 5.6X50R is probably the same.

If it can be done safely, I want to use monolithic bullets in them while hunting. Why? Just because I want to experiment with monoliths and I really prefer using my combination guns when I hunt with modern firearms.

I see that Blaser now sells under their brand name monoliths (manufactured by Barnes to Blaser's design) in 7X65R and I have not seen a warning that these are not to be used in their combination guns or any others.

I have read a lot of somewhat dated posts and discussions about monoliths over stressing the rifling or causing the barrels to separate. However My searches have not seemed to produce any recent factual information about these bullets causing damage to modern firearms. If they really are great gun wreckers it would seem that the internet would be full of stories with photographs.

So have we passed the time where they are rejected or feared by troglodytes and/or the manufacturers have learned to refine their designs to avoid damage? Can I safely use monoliths in my combination guns?
