[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 2344964, member: 14204"] I read your response a couple of times, and you did not address why Hammer bullets yield more speed over Barnes, Badlands, PVA as you noted in #28. All three bullets have different band configurations on the bearing surface to help reduce friction. As [USER=13732]@highdrum[/USER] noted in #27, Cayugas band reduces pressure and allows it to be propelled faster. If the claim is that the Hammer bullet can be pushed faster than cup/core bullets because of the bands reducing friction, then yes. But the generalization that Hammer bullet yields faster over Barnes, Badlands, and PVA Cayugas require empirical evidence/testing. Unless somebody beat me to it or somebody already did it and just hasn't shared it with us yet, I will be experimenting with the Cayuga 117 (1.365"/G7 .282/1:8") and Hammer AH 117 (1.33"/G7 .210/1:8.5") out of my .257 WBTY with 1:7" twist. The load configuration will be the same for both. Now, if I can only find the time to do it. :mad: I am a continuous learner, I guess that's why I am still going to school. 🤣 [/QUOTE]
