I’ve been seeing it at midway in 8lb jugs. Kinda spendy plus you pay for hazmat shipping but it’s available

Rifle is a Tikka T3 24” barrel with a slow 1-11 twist I believe. Here’s my load, it’s fast. 152 Hammer hunter 70.4 grains of RL 16 Federal 215 Winchester brass OAL 2.888 I used the Lee crimp die with about a quarter turn. When I came up with the load my gun was still pretty new, barrel has...

I’m interested in trying this in my 6.5 prc with some 124 grain hammers. Anyone think it might be too fast?

Dang I picked up 2 pounds each of 8133 and 4955. Was going to use them for load development but now what’s the point. I guess I’ll find a trade partner.

I use RL 16 in my 300 WSM with the 152 HH. It’s right at 3400fps no pressure. Super accurate also.

Sorry but I’m going to disagree with you on this one. Maybe I had a bad bullet or something, I’m not sure. I lost a bull elk shot at 125 yards with a 7mm WSM shooting a 160 grain accubond at around 3150fps. It was a perfect double lung shot. The bullet penciled through hitting no bone. I...

I’ve only lost one elk. It was a perfect double lung shot. Bullet penciled through because I hit no bone I’m guessing. It was a .284 160 grain accubond fired from a 7mm WSM at approximately 3150fps. Elk was standing broadside at 125 yards. I found the elk the next day spoiled. No blood trail and...

Good to know! Thanks, I’ll keep an eye out. I’ve got quite a few choices on my shelf. Just none of that. I’m looking to work up a good load with the 195 EOL’s

I was hoping components would be getting easier to get. It seems harder to find items these days. I bought 4 pounds of H1000 about a month ago and ended up selling to my brother in law. Kicking myself, I should have bought more!! If a guy keeps looking things are turning up from time to time but...

Thank you for your comment, I never thought about doing pillars only. Should work just fine I’d imagine. I think I’ll bed it though along with pillars. I’ll need a backup just in case I fail miserably! Kidding, I shouldn’t butcher it too bad.

Lefty, what stock did you go with? Mine is a lefty and I still have the original Remington 700 bdl stock on it. I painted it up, it looks ok but it has no pillars or been bedded. I’ll be laid up in a couple weeks after hip surgery. I was contemplating bedding the stock While I’m down since a...

I’ve got a 1-8 26” new pac-nor barrel, I’m trying to get a good load for the 143 HH. I’ve been trying RL 26 and not getting the accuracy I’m looking for. I’ve got a couple pounds of 8133, where is a good starting point for this combo? I appreciate any help!

My rifle is a 1:11 also, Tikka T3. With Hammers being solid copper with the petals that deploy internally you get a massive wound channel. I shot my moose at 50 yards in the neck, trying to break spine. Bullet ended up just under the skin on offside shoulder. Still weights 82 grains, now that’s...

Reloader 16 and 152 grain Hammer Hunters, my load is doing right at 3400 FPS. Shooting 3/4 inch 5 shot groups at 100 yards. Killed a cow and 5 point bull last year and a 40” bull moose this year with great results.

I’m shooting a 300 WSM 152 HH right at 3400fps. I shot my Shiras moose in the neck at 45-50 yards. Bullet dropped moose in his tracks broken neck then the shank diverted to the off shoulder and stopped just under the hide. The shank looks perfect. That’s a high speed impact at close range and...
