[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1568036, member: 8873"] Makes sense, but isn’t that reloading 101. The thing with Hammer bullets is that I’ve never had to mess with seating depth. I load Hammers for 6 rifles and they are by far the easiest bullets I’ve found to get a load for. Pick the powder and primer you want to use, load to fit mag and find my charge. It’s been really that simple. Last time I worked up a load I fired 5 different powder charges into the same group at 100 and they were well under an inch, shot the charge I wanted into another group and printed .5”, then shot it at 500 and went 1/2 moa. Done! Was this an anomaly? Nope, it’s been basically that easy for all. Plus the terminal performance has been great. Can you say the same thing about Barnes bullets? I cannot, I have rifles that hate them and I quit using them after two what appeared to be pencil through incidents. Are Hammers perfect, no but we may never see the the perfect bullet. They are not cheap and usually come up a little short on BC as compared to some others. But if my new 411 grain bullets work out to be in the .9 G1 BC range then I’ll take that part back.:D [/QUOTE]
