[QUOTE="cabelasken, post: 2831151, member: 117774"] I look to this forum to obtain information, but until I test it personally, I never accept the published data. So when I first started using the Hammer line of bullets, I did comparisons with other copper only bullets. I found that other bullets could be loaded 2 to 3 grains more than published data before pressure signs start showing up and at those same powder charges with the same weight hammer bullets, I would obtain 30 to 60 FPS more, but with no pressure signs. By adding another grain or two of powder added another 40 to 75 FPS to the load but without pressure signs. Probably more gains could be made, but I was already sAatisfied with the results and my brass was happy, happy. I also took the advice of other forum members that a slight crimp helped with accuracy, something I'll do from now on. [/QUOTE]
