The expense of the Monolithics deter there use for me simply due to the fact I am not comfortable with the cost at the practice range. I do like to shoot more than average for sure & the monolithic just don't pencil out at the target range.I am very new at this but am interested in the 90 gr CX if it works out for you please spread the word, That might be where I start reloading.
On game I do prefer to hunt with a bullet I have extensive experience with. I do anticipate a factory Monolithic out to market by this fall in the 6mm ARC based on a recent Hornady podcast. In the bolt action & longer ranges I am leaning towards the 90 gr CX that is just hitting the market now.

Picked up some 90gr Nosler E-tip factory 2nds for 40 cents a piece, that Ill be working up loads for practice on paper & we will be evaluating Expansion characteristics when shot into e series of 6 1 gallon water jugs. Expect 250 yards may be as far as Ill be willing to stretch the legs with the Nosler E-tip as Ill be falling into a velocity range of 2400 FPS or so near the 250 yard mark.
Will know more after doing the load work up & expansion test. Thus far I am just spit balling it & after 250 yards Expansion may be a bit less than desired to insure a clean kill. Good news is most of my deer over the years have been well inside of 250 yards.

These guys experiment supports my thoughts that the 90 gr E-tip likely skims by as a viable hunting option in upper end loads in 22" plus length bolt action rifles. (No more than 250 yards IMHO) Not so much of a good option in the 18" Gas gun IMHO.
