[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 2680564, member: 69192"] Steve at Hammer has been nothing but a great help with Hammer's products. As I previously wrote, what I have found is there is a learning curve to loading these bullets; they are unlike other manufacturer's bullets. From Hammer's literature they are made to a slightly larger diameter then other manufacturer's bullets to compensate for looser bores, and the grooves are for allowing that extra .0002 tenths to have a place to move to if that .0002 tenths is not needed. I had trouble reloading for an AR in .450 Bushmaster that was built with a custom, match barrel. With loads that were started 1 1/2 grains below maximum we were blowing primers, not so with a bullet manufactured by another company and with the same load data. I just got a Ruger, Gunsite Scout rifle in .450 Bushmaster that will be coming with me on our next black bear hunt in September. [/QUOTE]
