Good shooting.

What twist rate in your barrel?

this one is a 8twist, i been running them in a 7t 22/284 and a 6.5t 22saum. im surprised they r stable in this 8t, at my 1000ft elevation, but the 90 degree temp probably helps.

Good info. Thanks...

I may have to try some in my 7-twist 22 Creed.

I see they also sell a 75gr Absolute Hammer and a 83gr Hammer Hunter.

73gr AH requires 7.25-twist @ 1.10" bullet length.
75gr AH requires 6.5-twist @ 1.20" bullet length.
83gr HH requires 7-twist @ 1.225" bullet length.

Their recommended "minimum" twist rates surprise me, so I'm gonna run some twist rate calculations for all three of these bullets based on their supplied bullet length information.

i run all of them listed its better to have enough for sure, the 83 would tumble in a 7t, so a built a 6.5 twist 22/6, it runs great in it, im at 1000ft elevation. the 73Ah was made at my request, seems the longer bullets need 1.70 on the calulator to stablize from what iv seen. the 73Ah has been working really well the.100 shorter really helps vs 75ah, 83hh

Thanks a bunch for sharing your experiences on bullet stability. Their recommendations seem a bit off based on the bullet lengths provided.

The 75gr AH wouldn't stabilize in your 7-twist either?

they tumble at my elevation in 7s if ur up high u might try it but id go with the 73s

I tried the 75's in my 7 twist at about 650 elevation = nope lol. It was before the 73's came out. Dam, that's really good shooting. I'm running the 90 bergers but no where near that speed. Thanks for posting!

Excellent information...

yep thats why they made the 73, 75s just to long, i shot both out to 720 yds not much difference in bc, .35 on 73s, .38 on 75s is what i dial for, 73s shot 2.5 at 600 yds in my 22/284, thanks
