[QUOTE="Ross1147, post: 2661591, member: 106919"] Heavy hammers were designed to stabilize in a slower twist than your regular hammer hunters. In design they have more bearing surface in contact with the rifling, therefore more pressure for given powder charge, so more than likely slower velocities than your standard HH / AH. I’m able to comfortably hit 4K with the 92s in my 257 bee. With my numbers that’s 1007 ft lbs and 2220 fps at 800yds. I haven’t tried the 104s, but I bet I’d be maxing out around 3500 fps? So using 3500fps you’ll see 1011ft lbs and 2092fps at 775yds. So if 3500fps is doable, and the published bc is close, they’re pretty close….but 3500fps is no where near as cool as 4K!lol [/QUOTE]
