[QUOTE="snox801, post: 2345113, member: 54383"] Ok I may help. I’ve shot Barnes, cutting edge, gs customs, and hammers, I can tell you without a doubt that hammers are by far the easiest to load for. It’s not even close. Load up 5-10 round find pressure back off 1gr and shoot I’ve never had one not shoot well under and inch On top of that they are the best performing bullet I’ve ever shot. In fact I can tell you anyone who still recommends Barnes has never tried hammers. Search my history and you will see my progression on bullets from cup core to Barnes. I was thinking they were great till I tried cutting edge then realized they were better. Only to be outdone by hammer. So here is my list Hammer first Cutting edge second same time do lids as Barnes but better on game and higher bc. Then gs customs fairly easy to load but getting them was tough and they were only slightly better if at all over Barnes. At the bottom is Barnes for me. Seemed the hardest to get great groups, and they had some inconsistencies with expansion. Almost like it needs to hit bone. The metal they use is very hard. Several have played with drilling the top to help but not for me. [/QUOTE]
