[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1987828, member: 7999"] A low engraving pressure bullet does not go faster with standard powders. In fact it will go slower because no pressure will be present with too slow of a powder. You have to find a powder that will get up to the same pressure that is created with conventional bullet loads. Then you will see the vel increase. The loading process for Absolute Hammers is no different than the load process for a wildcat cartridge that has never been loaded before. As the op has done, the best place to start is with known components for the bullet weight and collect data with that load work up. Then use that data to determine where to go from there with another powder. [/QUOTE]
