[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2581210, member: 313"] If you are looking for top end velocities use non-mag primers and RE26. If you are concerned with temperature sensitivity, then RE23 is a good choice. Assuming that you are talking about a hunting rifle, just load to magazine length and work up your charge from there. Hammer bullets tend to shoot well regardless of distance. However, once you find your load, tweaking the OAL usually helps. Most of my Hammer loads are loaded about .100" off the rifling; some more and others less. You may also experiment with crimping the bullet. Plenty of posts here on that. Personally, I've had more consistent results without crimping while other loads seem to prefer it. Buy plenty of bullets and get going. LOL [/QUOTE]
