[QUOTE="Frogman77, post: 2295355, member: 15339"] The results are impressive, but unless the eldx and the hammers share the same weight, bearing surface, length and shape it’s really not a fair test. What you did find is an excellent load and seating tune with the hammers using the factory eldx charge weight, brass and neck tension. Something that I would strive to replicate if the velocity numbers are within your ES/SD goals. And optimized load for the ELDX and an optimized load with the hammers would be the best representation of comparison of the two bullets if that is the intended goal. It is very well possible that the factory eldx ammo could shoot to the same potential with seating depth tuning or adding a tuner to the barrel. It is not to take away from your findings or the hammer bullets themselves. You discovered a combination that works excellent in your rifle, something all hand loaders strive to do which often takes a lot more time and rounds down range. [/QUOTE]
