Being in stock always and super accurate are a plus. A few are getting over 3k fps with the 140 AH in the 7mm-08.

Not sure how you can achieve excessive velocity without higher pressures, but whatever.

The absolute hammers have a super short engraving surface so there is less pressure build up. The added velocity is especially pronounced in non-magnum cartridges.
The trick is to go to a relatively faster powder because you tend to run out of case with the slow ones.
I get 3050 fps and 1/2" groups in my Savage 116 30-06 with the 162 AH and 54.5 gr of Varget. Not a single sign of excessive pressure.
