[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 2326947, member: 104363"] Yes you can use the 143 HH. I run RE23, Federal GM215M primers. Depending on your rate of twist and barrel length, Steve may recommend something different. Seat the bullets .020 off the lands and run your ladder. Assuming you have or can buy the same powder/primer you can get to 3100+ with Nosler brass or above that at 3200+ with "manly" brass like Peterson in a 26" barrel. On the website 1800 fps is the lowest terminal velocity. You can look at a ballistic program with muzzle velocity and how many yards out you reach 1800 fps velocity required and that's your effective distance. 24" barrel would produce 60 fps less approximately. Option: H4831SC, large rifle primers also works with 168 Sierra Match Kings, tipped or hollow point. About 2800-2900 is what I have seen for this combo. Talk to Steve at Hammer or one of his associates. Your rate of twist is important for flight and terminal performance [/QUOTE]
