[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2672155, member: 63925"] What I find interesting is what we thought we knew ballistically as etched in concrete, is actually more like in clay. Its an ever evolving thought process that requires open mindedness to new concepts that sort of fly in the face of "common load and long range knowledge". I am old geezer and find this "new" thought fascinating and invigorating to try new loading concepts and resulting long range shooting. With Hammers, you get to evaluate powders based on burn, case fill and velocity to reach max pressure and higher velocities that is not common to cup and core bullets. Seems there is now a different thought on ultra high velocity versus BC. As @farleg has commented, I get out in the powder selection weeds a bit but I find it a new challenge to identify the best powder load not normally associated with similar weighted bullets. Unfortunately, I do now have a few pounds of powder that didn't work out and not sure what the heck to use it for other than fire forming and tomatoes. I am working on new load in .243 with 55HH that I truly expect to see 4100+. It will be interesting to see stability at this speed in even slight wind. [/QUOTE]
