[QUOTE="SilverbulletMAG, post: 2309681, member: 108181"] I shoot a lot of different hammers in my rifles with varying success. The 2 that were the most difficult to get right were both 7-08s. I couldn't get them to shoot the 120s better than MOA, but the ES/SDs are fantastic single digits. Took way more time and $ than it should have to get them even shooting around MOA. Lesson I learned was either the hammers shoot really well early on in load development, or they won't, and you're better off cutting your losses early on and moving to a different bullet. I haven't read through all the pages here yet but, for reference, both the 7-08s I reload for did best right at max loads of Varget (also tried Staball and H4350 with worse results). One is at 3045fps and the other is 3105, both 20" barrels, Lapua brass. [/QUOTE]
