Are A-Square monolithic solids safe to shoot in a DR? I've heard that some monolithic bullets are not.

Thank you.

They are of the type that most believe are not safe to shoot in a double rifle.

The only type that I think are safe to shoot in a double rifle are true driving band bullets. There are two currently made driving band bullets that I know of, the North Fork and the GS Custom.

I wouldn't.

If you can't use a NF or GS banded solid, stick with conventional solids such as the Hornady, Woodleigh, or TB Sledgehammers, there are some other good conventional solids out there I've never used.

Thank you very much - this is just the info I needed!

Oxon,

Absolutely NOT safe!!!

BR

Definitely not.

I'm awaiting delivery of my first DR (Chapuis 9.3x74 from Dale Nygaard) and really appreciate this help - I know very little about DRs. I skimmed the entire 100+ pages of this forum where I read something about monolithic bullets in DRs and I'm glad I asked! I bought some Norma Oryx that I'll use to inaugurate the rifle (if the snow lets me get to the range!)

Thanks again.
