[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2565706, member: 313"] To add a Hammer option - I tried some 124gr Hammer Hunters in the same .308 rifle as above and used the same charge, 46.5 Benchmark. I got 3,200 ft/sec without issue. I'm sure a slightly higher velocity could be attained. I'll add that these particular Hammer bullets benefited by a firm crimp with an FCD. Many of my other cartridges shot quit well with no crimp. I seat all of my Hammers to maximize bearing surface in the case neck. [/QUOTE]
