[QUOTE="justinp61, post: 3041016, member: 35795"] Hypothetically, in a .264" caliber rifle (you pick the cartridge) and it pushes a 140gr Match King at 2600fps with 40gr of your favorite powder. Again, hypothetically, how much faster would a 140 gr Hammer be with the same exact load in that rifle? Would the speed come from more pressure? Less friction in the barrel due to materials and design? It would be an interesting experiment for someone with the proper pressure testing equipment. Unfortunately, 99% of shooters don't have the equipment needed. But testing velocity is something the average shooter could and would do. I'll go back to the peanut gallery now. 🤔 [/QUOTE]
