Not Just A New Tip Color…

I wonder how anyone here knows what kind of testing we have done?

I don't. What kind of testing have you done?

Given the context, seems like a fair question.

I'm not making any point. I'm just saying how it is.
Like I said, the biggest issue is people not knowing enough about how drag affects what they are trying to do.

They aren't "testing" the bullet BC with Doppler. They are making a whole entire curve all together.
Unless you're using a CDM, then you're stuck between a G1 or G7, and those numbers change with mach along its flight. Assuming everything else is correct.

So as to if Litz's team is off base or not, they aren't. They comparing apple to apples from the manufacture. Someone else running a subsonic load with a 16 inch 1:20 twist barrel isn't going to get those results.

It is apples to apples. This is a long range hunting site. Who is using suns for that or needing a door chart no one because the bullet won't open at certain speeds.
Again you are making a point that is ridiculous. You want hammer to use Doppler to get the bc close? Then in the post above you say it won't be on?

Again I will Point to my experience with litz who I will always use his program. How can I use the exact same system he made and sometimes get a bc so far off it seems like they entered a number wrong and sometimes it's spot on.

I understand what you are saying as I have read his books and get what you're saying but to say you were not trying to make a point is disingenuous at best. Because by your standards you won't be able to shoot any company's bullets. Because I can tell you if you shoot enough bullets like some here they all have one that's a good way off.

Care to indulge us with this, "Truth"? You seem quite nonchalant and cryptic in your post.

FYI, nobody cares what you eat or drink. We might pay attention to articulated posts substantiated with evidence.

Big fan of the Hammers. Thanks for bringing a different product to market that many of us have come to love. Looking forward to the new skus. Thanks for all your hard work and support Steve!

As others have stated, BC isn't a perfect constant. Copper solids are inherently going to have a lower BC vs lead core. BC isn't everything. Hammers have consistently been the easiest bullets to tune, and some of the most accurate bullets I've ever loaded. With rifles that extreme range and maximum BC isn't my primary concern, I'm loading Hammers. They have performed better than any bullet I've ever used.

Buy hey, that's why they make chocolate and vanilla. Don't like them? Lots of other options out there. No need to crap on a great business owner and supporter of this forum.
