[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 2830338, member: 94491"] I'm not really sure why people have doubted it so much-- some of it comes down to bearing length--- all hammer bullets have less bearing length/area due to the "bands" design. We all know from berger bullets that a shorter bearing length allows a heavier bullet to be pushed as fast or faster than longer bearing length lighter bullets--- one of the reasons that the 215s are so popular. Other monolithic bullets in the past have used the drive band/bore rider design to lessen bearing length friction to help achieve like or greater than speeds as lead core equal weight counter parts. I'm glad that somebody finally did some pressure testing on your bullets, not so much as to disprove the naysayers as to confirm the speeds/pressures/safety of what handloaders have achieved. Now if some one could put Charlie's technical jargon into plain English that us "dumm dumm's" can understand that would be even better. 🤪 [/QUOTE]
