[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2345199, member: 87243"] From the few bullets I have loaded, the badlands bullets end up about like a standard lead hunting bullet as far as maximum achievable velocity, though with different amounts of powder. I have not been able to get them faster, but just in the same general area as standard bullets. The Cayugas I have got way faster than I would expect with a lead bullet, same with the hammer hunters. I have not loaded the absolute hammers, so I can't speak on those. As far as load developement for me, the PVA's and Hammers have shaken out about the same, easy. The Badlands, particularly the gen II's, have been more picky, with good accuracy still attainable. However, my maximum range is not 500 yards, I killed my elk at 1036 this year, 882 last year, 860 the year before....my co-hunters have been 980, 1002, 513, 680, and so on for the last few years, so BC matters with that consideration, so that is where the Badlands and cayugas come into play.
