[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1981179, member: 4191"] From Steve's website [SIZE=7][B].264 Cal-123g Absolute Hammer[/B][/SIZE] "In most rifles we expect to see 300-400 fps over conventional bullets of the same weight." Steve states over [U]conventional[/U] bullets. You're correct, if that's what you meant. The discussion in this thread has been velocity gained over a comparable weight Hammer Hunter bullet. What I've seen from the data posted from two sources to date, the increase is around 300fps. I think the Hammer Hunters commonly leave the muzzle with ~100fps additional velocity compared to equal weight conventional lead core jacketed bullets. [U]100[/U]fps gain for Hammer Hunters compared to conventional lead core jacketed bullets, [B]plus [/B][U]300[/U]fps for Absolute Hammers compared to Hammer Hunters... there's the [U]400[/U]fps. That was the source of my misunderstanding. Even a 200fps gain would be a major breakthrough, IMO. Hard to gain 200fps by redlining with excessive pressure. [/QUOTE]
