[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1407574, member: 7999"] I'll add one more comment. We have gone to great lengths to make sure all the issues in this thread do not happen with Hammer Bullets. They are the same within .0002" and a few tenths of a grain regardless of tool change or date of manufacture. The amount of shine on the surface will vary depending on sharpness of tooling. That is all. It took thousands of pounds of copper to find one that does what we want from muzzle to to as far as you can shoot to our minimum advertised vel of 1800fps. All of our bullets are tested to work properly at 1800fps impact vel or below. Our meplat is always perfect, the hollow point is always the same depth, our hollow point is alway open, and always centered. If you like sorting bullets you can sort ours into groups from high to low with a difference of 3 tenths of a grain. Pointless but good therapy. I know our bullets are more expensive at the point of purchase, but in the end I don't think they are. All the loading hassles are quite frankly foreign to me since we started making bullets. I know there is no magic bullet. Our bullets are made from materials that are man made and we the designers and producers are flawed humans as well, but I don't worry about any of the issues in this thread. Steve [/QUOTE]
