[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1707918, member: 30671"] I take them at their word as far as goals: 1) Higher and consistent velocity, 2) Superior Accuracy, 3) Less engraving pressure, 4) Less barrel heat and erosion, 5) Minimal game waste. As far as how they got where they got is somewhat market driven, making what people will buy. A lot of their development has taken place with guys looking for more bullet. Like me! In his heart Steve is a high velocity, best mid range trajectory, hunter. Call regarding advice on a .30-06-and he will likely guide you to the 166 Hammer Hunter. Currently being loaded in a camp rifle in Africa for gun less guest. It's tough to wean someone like me off heavy for caliber. Consistent terminal performance helps, and moves me a bit though. I do think he's developing respect for the heavier Sledge Hammer line profile. I think there are more of here that don't need high BC bullets, than is suspected. Without putting words in anybodies mouth-with a bullet that consistently performs one can go lighter, faster, and see good accuracy, trajectory, and terminal results. In 6mm my old rifle will only handle the 80 grain bullets, I've liked closer to 100 grains unless varmint shooting. Hopefully someone will plink something with it to see, but I don't think it loses anything to the heavier bullets for how I use the rifle. The best thing so far is their willingness to build something for an individual. Don't see what you want call them. [/QUOTE]
