[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2268776, member: 109862"] Hammer bullets increased velocity claims sound too good to be true but a lot of folks here seem to have verified it for themselves. That being said I straight up do not believe the bc numbers, just looking at the thing it seems impossible. I’m still as cynical and skeptical as ever but also know that every now and then there actually is real progress made (I’m sure there were skeptics who dismissed newfangled “smokeless powder” as a gimmick back in the day). what i AM most curious about is the whole rebated boat tail idea. They’re not the only manufacturer that does this. The idea that it would offer the internal ballistics (and especially external immediately upon release from the barrel) makes perfect sense to me but just because something makes sense doesn’t make it actually real in the field. There are slow motion videos of flat base and boat tail bullets exiting the muzzle…and you can totally see why 100 yard bench rest records are won mostly with flat bases, they really do start out much more stable. But to the best of my knowledge no 1000 yard records are currently held with flat bases of any kind. I wish someone with one of those fancy cameras would make a videos of an rbt bullet leaving the barrel for comparative purposes. [/QUOTE]
