[QUOTE="chesspunker, post: 1701598, member: 106356"] [B]I'm looking for a recipe for the 124 GR Hammer Hunter in 6.5 PRC. I need a CA legal hunting round for this rifle. So far I've tried RL 26 powder and the bullets sprayed all over the page. Please help. Steve from Hammer says to try H4831SC and RL23 which I will do, but maybe one of you guys already has a good recipe.[/B] I'm loading for a cheap Ruger Precision Rifle that has demonstrated it is VERY ACCURATE. So far with every single powder listed below and every single bullet listed below the gun shoots 1/2 MOA. I was shocked when the Hammer bullets were shooting 2" groups with RL 26 because that powder has been the magic sauce for me with everything else I tried.

However, only RL26 gave me the velocity that I want out of this rifle.
