That Nosler data is a starting point for me the hammers have drive bands that reduce friction and drag allowing more velocity with less pressure all things being equal in a manner of speaking
You haven't been keeping up on HH's very well then is all I'm gonna say about that and you continue to amaze me as once again you are incorrect

I just got a box of HH 131's to load in my 280 AI. I took the Nosler loading data for 140grn, the only powder I have that was on the chart was H4831SC the starting load listed was 58.5 grn and the max load was 62.5. I loaded in .5 grn increments from 58.5 to 64.0. Attached is a pic of the...www.longrangehunting.com

And no Steve is not wrong about anything and I never said or implicated that, The loading procedure on his website is there for the standard reason and yes conventional loading practices will work but there's ton's of good stuff left on the table. There is a Weird Mob of folks who think outside the box and have found that the HH's also respond to considerably faster powers higher neck tension and the LEE FCD and a few other things as well, There will be some very interesting information available after this weekend to digest if your the least bit interested. I will say If you have been loading them that long I would have thought you would have already known all of this, No offense intended
Adam32+p the reg hammer bullet will usually have a vel gain over a conventional bullet maybe a 100 fps plus and the absolute 150 plus over the reg hammer sometimes the volume left over in the case when switching from the hammer too the absolute will allow more vel with more powder without pressuring out if you run out of case capacity then go too a faster powder nothing is written in stone when working with the hammers it's trial and error as over pressure goes ejector marks expanded primer pockets and stiff bolt lift or good indicators of over pressure also Nosler brass could be a problem showing ejector marks prematurely Bean is probably one of the most experienced loaders of these bullets as far as I know I've paid a lot of attention too his post he's usually spot on good luck on your load Steve from hammer bullets has his 280 ai smoking with 140 s out of a 22 in barrel I looked at your cases kind of hard too diagnose without hands on good luck

I was unaware that the 168gn 30 cal data he referenced was for Hammer Bullets. Forgive my ignorance as I thought brass flow was a pressure sign. I'll be safe, and thanks.
