[QUOTE="Quintus, post: 2474899, member: 67552"] Yep, the brass is holding the RPM back. I had high hopes it would be Norma, but it acts just like Hornady's early really soft stuff. I will say the Backcountry and Backcountry 2.0 Carbon are amazingly accurate though. The concept of the round built to maximize a light rifle was well executed. The RPM itself is not revolutionary, but if you are looking for a light rifle for a rough country hunt where you might not see the truck for a week or so the RPM in one of the Backcountry versions checks a lot of boxes, at least for me. It looks like I am going end up running the 121Hammer just under or at 3500FPS. [/QUOTE]
