[QUOTE="CBH Australia, post: 2327474, member: 116486"] Stupid fast, bomb and "Flying Ashtray" are all new terms for our reloading talk vocabulary. It sounds like Hammers can be driven at previously unheard of speeds for a given cartridge or case capacity. Absolute Hammers maybe faster. Creating Insane speeds and a good excuse to rebarrell then try again. [USER=111593]@GLTaylor[/USER] , [USER=112153]@just_jon[/USER] has provided some data for the 101's in .30 Cal. I plan to test loads in .308 using 101's but I only have a small sample ATM. Jon's data shows our home grown AR2206H is still very versatile and will possibly produce speeds in excess of 3400, where your 3200 may well be sufficient. I've seen a BT blow up on the outside of a pig at close range where the same load penetrates drops them once some velocity washes off. It was a shoulder pad where it had erratic expansion. It wasn't a big pig and it slowed it but it was not the fatal shot and I dont know what penetration it got. Anyways, I think starting at 3200might be ok in a .308, reasonable trajectory and hopefully decent penetration at 100. With light recoil. As for some of the others I would like to see what velocity I get over a chronograph on the range. I would like to have one of my rifles shooting fast and flat for longer shots without having to think to much to 300-350 Ive heard the term "Aim on Hair not Air" [/QUOTE]
