[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 2016793, member: 109113"] I talked with the guy at Hammer Bullets a while back and he recommended a little more neck tension with his bullets, due to the reduced bearing surface. As I recall, he said to go with 3 or 4 thousandth's under bullet diameter, rather than the two thousandth's most guys seem to prefer. This is to let some pressure build up before the bullet gets moving, and it does something that is favor-able when the bullets initially get engraved by the rifling. I don't know if this will improve the parameters you mentioned, but the fact that he mentioned it suggests that it must improve something in the equation. [/QUOTE]
