[QUOTE="Rosebud, post: 3037463, member: 118066"] Hammers are faster than comparable weight bullets. They require less engraving pressure, so you use a faster burning powder. Waters is based off the 30-30 Winchester case that can push a 170 grain bullet around 2200. Don't see any real issues in getting around 2600 with hammers.I can get 2700 plus with a 99 hammy in a Grendel using 32 grains of powder. Also the hornady loading manual shows 2500 fps using120 Vmax. That's in a 14 inch barrel! [/QUOTE]
