Monoliths tend to be really long for caliber. 110gr is 1.25 long. What barrel length do you have?
There are several threads discussing the expansion thresholds, terminal performance, expected velocities with different powders and charge weights.
Deer Double w/110gr TREX Maker bullets
85gr Maker TREX bullet
If you look in ANNOUNCEMENTS, theres a Custom search engine for the forum that works very well.
Thanks for the advice LRRPF52. I know monos are longer than traditional designs. I've got a howa mini with the 20" heavy bbl and I've recently acquired a cz varmint with the 25" heavy bbl that I havnt picked up yet. I've got a really good ffl that will put things in the back for me until I can get the funds together lol. I've been trying to find some decent bullets for these guns to load up but most projectiles that might be suitable are either out of stock or something that I don't care for like the sst or my howa won't shoot good like the hornady black 123gr eld-m. From the research I've done so far the speer 120gr gold dot is a great choice but good luck finding them.
