Sir John,

Your approval is appreciated, buy a donkey,
and never kill the messenger unless the message is really, really bad, and he is the message.

90 % weight retention is claimed for the 402-gr Shock Hammer with shallow, 0.25"-diameter HP.
The 403-gr Shock Hammer with 3mm HP about as deep as the full nose projection should be interesting,
especially with that 0.419 BC G1 estimate.
The PDR bands do not hurt BC.
Also, residual oil on the bands: Leave it alone or degrease before loading ?
Shoot both ways and see if there is any difference.

Residual cutting oil in the HP is said to enhance a visible vapor trail on videos of small-bore kills with Hammer Bullets.
