[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1452702, member: 7999"] If I remember correctly you started using Hammer Bullets when you had a rifle that would not work up a load no matter what you tried? There have been many of our customers that were 100's of rounds down range only to be frustrated, and then out of desperation go ahead and make the plunge and try our bullets. Then find out there is an easier way. I have been saying it for a few years now here. There simply is not an easier bullet to load develop than ours. I have truly gotten lazy in load development. All I do now is make sure the cartridge feeds from the mag and it is not touching the lands. I like to seat as long as I can and fall in these perimeters. I no longer take the time to see how far off the lands I am. I also load with a magspeed. I load up generally one grain one shot at a time. I watch for accuracy on the target and consistent vel increases with each shot. If either of these don't look good I don't try to force it, I just change powder. Once vel is found without pressure I will load a few to get a good average for vel and make sure es/sd is good then zero the rifle and work on long range drops. I am almost always done in less than 16 shots. My expectation for accuracy from any rifle is sub moa and have yet to have a rifle that won't get there. There have been a few that had mechanical issues that I don't count. I am glad this thread started. It is so much better when guys, other than the one selling the product, give their experience. Thanks to all of you. Steve [/QUOTE]
