[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 2699213, member: 11960"] Almost all of the Hammer bullets I've shot have been in barrels 20" and shorter. You'll see a greater velocity benefit by dropping down in bullet weight when switching to the Hammers, than you would by simply comparing them to the same weight lead core bullet in a short barrel. In my experience, Hammers can give you enough of a velocity increase to make up for about 2" of barrel loss, so around 60-75 fps in the chamberings I've played with. The advantage to most mono metal bullets is the ability to drop down in bullet weight and still see good terminal performance and an increase in velocity. [/QUOTE]
