[QUOTE="rbTanzan, post: 2645265, member: 53978"] Besides the work on the seating stem mentioned above, it would be good to consider a faster powder. The [B]Hammer[/B] bullets use [B]lighter engraving pressure [/B]and that can cause the powders to burn slightly slower than expected. To make up for that, a person should try a slightly faster powder. For the above load I would recommend trying [B]H4895[/B]. The H4895 will probably result in a smaller overall volume of powder, and less resistance to the bullet seating. It may not completely remove the seater mark, but it will lessen it. I get excellent loads with H4895 and the AbsoluteHammer 151grain, though admittedly a lighter bullet than the 166gnHH. [/QUOTE]
