[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 2672683, member: 7999"] Oh, I forgot. I made this test intentionally real world apples to apples. I used a factory 300 rum to load both bullets to the highest potential in the cartridge. I used a factory chamber and rifle on purpose, because it is something that many hunters are going go to for long range hunting. Basically, the most horsepower readily available to hunters. I did not handicap either bullet. I pushed them as hard as was reasonable. Yes this resulted in a 300 fps advantage to the Hammer Hunter. That is real life results. If you can get a 200g Berger to run 300 fps faster than the 199g Hammer Hunter, then it will have an advantage in drop and drift. I don't think you can though. Also it will have a disadvantage on short and long range impacts. At least if it performs the same as the 215g tested here. I set up the long range impact testing to give both bullets as close as possible, the same impact velocities. If I remember correctly, they were within about 30 fps of each other. Both below 2000 fps but above advertised or accepted minimum for hunting. [/QUOTE]
