[QUOTE="jpndave, post: 1816455, member: 5437"] I don't see X47 asking for actual results as a bad thing here. He hasn't criticized the bullet or the company just asked for more information and discussion. The Hammer Bullets ARE praised an abnormal amount here on this forum. The analogy to the 6.5 CM is a good one. It seems that there are those here that say "Hammer Bullets" and then fold their arms and walk away like that is the end all be all of the conversation. I don't see posts by Steve of Hammer ever going that way. His responses are very appropriate and appreciated. Rich's Sherman mags are in a similar place. His responses and designs are great but some place a reverence on those that are approaching religion. It stifles discussion and none of those products/designs are perfect. I'm with others here and it is off-putting of me trying this stuff. Especially at the costs associated with the quality. It's not a minor outlay to give them a fair shake. Are the Hammers that much better than say the very similar Cutting Edge design which is rarely mentioned but looks like is also a sponsor here? They appear to be very similar in at least fundamental theory. Both lathe turned, both shed petals, both have a patented anti-engraving pressure design - different approach to the same problem. The Cutting Edge has some long range wins that are not inconsequential. Some of the Cutting Edge bullets are a better BC (but a $ cost) The tipped designs "might" be better at initiating expansion. Am I going to get flamed for even suggesting this? Does what the other design do take away from the Hammer design? I don't thing it does. [/QUOTE]
