Same story for me with the 174 Hammer Hunter in 300 WM😊

I agree, the T3X is a “no brainer” extremely smooth action, outstanding trigger, and accurate right out of the box; and with a little load development 1/2” or better groups. That’s been my experience anyway…

The shoulder is 0012” longer than the standard version.

I was surprised when one of the guys at Peterson told me that after a lot of effort and expense they found the secret to their 300WM Long brass was adding .0012 to the shoulder.

Steve, I wish I had seen you post earlier, ordered 100 Peterson cases for my 300 WM (50 regular and 50 long) for 82.50 per 50. Could have saved 10 bucks a box darn it! Anyway, I am in complete agreement with your comments regarding the quality of this PA made brass. Great people to talk with...

The 300 WM was first to go to 1-10 in 2021, I bought one of the first of them in March 21

My Tikka T3X in 300 WM has a mag length of 3.370”. I spoke with Steve Davis @ Hammer recommended the 174 Hammer Hunter which is designed for short length mags. It was a simple task to find a load that shoots .5 moa or better (76.5 - H4831). Hammers are as advertised “very forgiving” regarding...

GL, Will do, but will have to wait til I return from Newfoundland moose hunt in 3 weeks.

Didn’t see the top of your post that your referring to the .338, I’m referring to 300 WM, but will still try H4350 using Steve Davis’ load data.

Bean, those numbers are incredible (see my earlier post re: 76.5/H4831 @ 3100 for the 174 HH in my 1-10” T3X) I’ve got some H4350 laying around and plan to see what I can do. You didn’t mention accuracy, but will assume that you are close to .5 MOA.

Forgot to add target.

My go to load for the 174 HH is 76.5 gr. H4831sc and CCI 250’s. Loaded to 3.365” or just under mag length of 3.370 produces 3100 FPS and groups averaging 1/2”. Rifle is a T3X with 1-10” barrel.

I tried the 180 Cayuga’s about a year ago, they shot reasonably well, but 174 Hammer Hunters were more accurate in my 1- 10” T3X.

I checked with the UPS HazMat office (800-554-9964) and they verified what you are saying.

I have a Newfoundland moose hunted booked for 9/2023 and would like to take my Remington 700 Ultimate using BH 209, Remington 9.5 mag primers and 330 gr. Power Belt ELR’s. I will be flying to NL and USPS says I can’t take powder or primers on the plane and it cannot ship them either, even with...
