[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 2681593, member: 7999"] No. The engraving pressure on the Absolutes is very low. They will need more / faster powder than conventional bullets to get to pressure. Starting with the max load will show lower velocity than you would expect due to the very low engraving pressure. It takes pressure to make vel. Without pressure the vel will be low. Loading the Absolute Hammers is similar to loading a wildcat cartridge. If you are not comfortable working in uncharted territory it would be best to stay with the Hammer Hunter line of bullets. Again, only do this with Absolute Hammers. All the other Hammers should be started at listed start loads for similar weight bullets. [/QUOTE]
