[QUOTE="snox801, post: 2398378, member: 54383"] So to help settle some of this. Or to see if this is a great design would it be safe to say if I ordered the 100gr 6.5 and compared it to the 99 hammer for speed and drops to see if the cavity in the back is helpful. Then against the 97gr absolute hammer because even though the cavity would allow more space for the typical powders that perform well in the Grendel it may not best the absolute hammer that likes a faster burn rate powder that simply doesn’t work with the standard 99-100gr. So it may and should indeed outdo the 99 hammer but I bet it falls very short of the 97gr . After I get speeds I can run them out to check the actual bc in my rifle then use those numbers to punch into applied and see which one can reach to a greater distance before it hit min FPS of opening? Then if I can find the time shoot both at max range to see if they open. Just to rule out the if hammers has a distance advantage at min speed it may not matter if it doesn’t open at that speed.
