[QUOTE="snox801, post: 2141714, member: 54383"] Ok I can help here. I’ve shot all the gambit of cup and core from nosler to Berger and all the other brands. Then I went to cutting edge. They were very good. They were much better than lead for consistency and knowing the billet won’t fail at extreme velocity. I shot them for years then tried the hammer. Hammers are much easier to load for. They also had much better better in game performance. By that I mean they tend to do more internal damage and leave a much bigger nicer exit for blood. Cutting edge was always just a hole the size of the bore. I think the cutting edge loses less of the front of the bullet cause less internal damage. cutting edge does have a higher bc than hammer but at longer ranges I have a feeling they won’t open as easily as hammers. I’ve since been shooting only hammer and are very happy with them for the wide range in which they can be used. [/QUOTE]
