[QUOTE="jebel, post: 1592272, member: 106189"] I agree with all of the good things that have been said about Hammer bullets, including their jump insensitivity, and frequently better velocity. I'm using them in four cartridges currently. On monolithics more generally (I have used several), do keep in mind that they are not all the same (as this discussion has made clear). Barnes recommends that you seat 0.05" off the lands (see their "loading guidelines" online), and as a general rule for most monolithics I would bias toward jump in this range or more. Hammer bullets are an exception and I seat them closer. I would never recommend seating any monolithic into the lands (but particularly non-Hammers). They are harder than lead core and seating them into the lands can produce a pressure spike. [/QUOTE]
