[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2312496, member: 91783"] Yes they are CNC machined but look at the difference between the hammer bullets and the 408 and 416 bullets . The hammer bullets are made of gliding copper and don't have the same design in the bearing surface area as the other ones . The 408 and 416 's are made out of a brass alloy and have less bearing surface . The hammer bullets have some groves in the bearing surface area to reduce the surface area but the 408 and 416 have less bearing surface and are machined with more of a taper in the grooved area to reduce air drag . The boat tail of the 408 and 416 bullets is rebated so as to reduce drag as well , kind of like the back of a race car compared to the back of a simi. trailer . All in all they are an improvement in the dynamics of the bullet design and I think the hammer bullets should work very well also . Let us know how they preform on your upcoming hunt in Montana . In the last few years the bullet manufactures have been looking more at the design and dynamics to reduce drag better then in the past . We started out with round balls then went to to a mini ball round nosed bullet now look at where we are with the bullet designs as well as the powders we have to push them to our targets . A few years back I ran some cutting edge bullets , they were CNC machined also , and I couldn't find the right combination for my rifle with them . They were fine bullets but my rifle , powder and them just didn't do well together . [/QUOTE]
