[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1381626, member: 7999"] I will chime in here if ok? CEB and our Hammer Bullets are similar in the fact that we are both pure copper CNC lathe turned precision bullets. Difference comes in the alloy used and our PDR technology (parabolic drag reduction) on the baring surface. Our alloy choice, after much testing of many alloys, is a softer copper and performs better terminally. Our PDR on the baring surface allows bullet seating anywhere just like conventional bullets. Also it solves the problem that has always plagued mono bullets, how big a dia to make the bullet to seal the bore properly without creating pressure problems. Because of the radius of the contact surfaces we can cut the bullets at .0005" over groove dia creating perfect seal with no increase in pressure. We cut the trough or groove deeper than bore dia in order to leave space for the displaced copper to deposit and not cause bore fouling. The PDR creates perfect load concentricity because all of the baring surface contacts the case neck, easy bullet engraving, and clean release from the muzzle. This results in a bullet that is incredibly easy to load develop and virtually has no seating depth sensitivity. Our hunting bullets suffer a bit in the bc department due to the fact that we will not use a 1mm hollow point. Testing in controlled media the 1mm hp will work reliably, but we found that it was not reliable enough on game after dozens of animals taken and had a couple not do as we expect from a top quality hunting bullet. We determined that a 1.5mm hp is as small as can be relied on for repeatable performance. We will not sacrifice terminal performance or accuracy for any marketing strategy. Quite frankly what good does a little added bc do for you if it means your bullet has has a higher probability of failure or is difficult to get to shoot well? Steve [/QUOTE]
