[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2767773, member: 116181"] There's no kill like overkill. 🤣 One thing about the Hammers is I've always seated mine deep, to the last PDR groove on the bullet. If any loadings are at the top end of 100%+ load densities to get the numbers you need go ahead and step up in case size to get there. I do also use faster burning powders than typical to push Hammers so it's not always a concern, but something to be aware of. So something the 28 Nosler/ 7 RUM has going for them is that they were built around a deep seated bullet, there's no concern over lost case capacity for loads. I run my 300 RUM at 300 WM speeds all the time, sure it burns more powder than a 300 WM would use to get the same speed when downloaded like that, but I can always step on the gas if I want to. And it's a BIG gas pedal when you let yourself step on it. [/QUOTE]
