[QUOTE="Wolf76, post: 2287915, member: 75779"] In my edge, I dropped down to the 262 gr hammer from the 300 berger/accubond. It was noticeable. Depending on your application, I'd consider an even lighter hammer. The 262 (listed as 260 grs on the website) are running 3K fps with n570 out of a 26" barrel. If you say for example that 500 yards is as far as you'd take a kill shot, then run the ballistics on the lighter bullets. You'll see your actually better off in many categories. The heavier bullets don't start making a meaningful difference until 700+ yards. [/QUOTE]
