[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1194277, member: 7999"] I have to give a shout out to Roy. Thanks for the stomach flip.:rolleyes: So I asked Roy if he would be willing to do 3rd party testing. He said he would and wanted to know what conditions I would want. My answer was that I would be willing to supply him the bullets as long as he would post his findings here. Only stipulation was if he found something bad I wanted to know before he said something so that we would have a chance to fix it. He agreed to those terms. So he calls me yesterday afternoon will I was in the shop making bullets. He proceeded to say "Remember when I said that I would let you know if something strange happened?" I am now at that very instant have a stomach issue. He then says "Well I have just encountered the strangest thing ever in my time of shooting and I broke my promise. You'll have to go on LRH and read about it.". I said, "OK I will call you back". So I read the thread and my stomach settles. I called Roy back and I start talking about the hbn part of the thread. This was very interesting to me as we have not had the time to test it yet. Roy interrupts me and says "That's not the exciting part." He says "I have never shot this rifle this well, let alone with no load development." I explained to him that this is what has happened to us with every rifle we have loaded them in and it was not new news to me. I told him that every rifle we have loaded for hunting or testing has been this way. We have never done any seating depth adj for accuracy. Load development has always been done under 20 shots, zeroed at yardage. Roy tells me that if I had told him that before he started working with the Hammer Bullets he would have called BS. I told him that I have tried to say this on LRH and nobody has been mean to me but nobody has really acknowledged me either. I know that Roy was waiting to ring out all the bullets that we sent him and then write a full review of his findings before he was going to post anything. The .375 is the second bullet he has worked with and the second one that needed very little load development. He could not contain his excitement with the .375 since he has always had trouble getting it to shoot really well. Having Roy so excited on the phone was very exciting for me. It's like having someone call you to praise your child for doing something great. Thank you Roy. Steve [/QUOTE]
