[QUOTE="Bang4theBuck, post: 2778793, member: 73596"] Well, Len has done the right thing, like he usually does. Somif anyone is interested, I have now been to the range twice with Hammers in my 300 WSM. The first trip was a bit of a write off. I had troubles with ignition (bad primers), and real trouble with velocity consistency. While I am a very experienced reloader, I took the time to consult with Steve about some of the potential issues. With.new primers, increased neck tension, and the addition of a second powder to try, I headed back to the range. It was really cold out for TN. 25deg f. With wind. I also had a member reach out to me and offer to send me some other Hammers that he had in inventory, which I also tried. What a great group we have here. So, with the price and avaiability of components, I am a bit stingy with my load testing. But....it worked. I produced multiple sub 1/2 moa groups with both bullets, both powders. I'm getting rock start velocity and excellent accuracy. As a reminder thos is in a factory Savage Inpulse straight pull rifle. I am super stoked for the hunt. Here are some of the results on paper, and a picture of the rig. [/QUOTE]
