[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2672714, member: 116181"] The fruit here is a case driven to it's max potential, using two different bullet designs. Since the velocity difference is the a result of bullet design, it is apples to apples because like Steve said they're maxing out the case with both bullets. We're choosing a bullet to run in a case, not choosing the case itself. Apples to oranges would be running the Hammer in a 300 WM and the Berger in a 300 RUM to match muzzle velocities and let the impact velocities fall where they may. That's case selection, and Hammers widen the range of utility for smaller chamberings because the bullet design runs faster. I'm pushing 69 AHs to almost 3000 FPS from a 6 BR pistol and that'll do a whitetail any day of the week inside 200 yards; not a case I'd run a 100gn Interlock out of at any distance. [/QUOTE]
