[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 2344992, member: 64108"] The harder alloys have more engraving pressure and will hit max pressure before a softer alloy. I think the Cayugas have a bore rider like the Cutting Edge Bullets do, CEB calls it a "Seal Tite Band", not sure if they have relief cuts in the bearing surface. I think it comes down to the Hammers having less bearing surface and being softer, more like lead, that yields higher velocities via less friction than a comparable hard alloy bullet. You will have to add more powder to get that speed though, almost like it was a lighter bullet. It is similar to the concept of the Absolute Hammer line.....less friction and more speed. [/QUOTE]
