So the debate is actually - If you have a sidelock, should you use a PRB. Most of us say definately not. It should be dependant on what your rifle shoots best.
X2, very well said and when i did shoot a 1:48 my go to bullet was always a big heavy lead conical. there terminal performance was devastating.
