[QUOTE="longgunshooter, post: 1291733, member: 6004"] Over the weekend I tested some 181 Hammer Hunters with great results. Of six different grain weights going off the solid advice of where to safely start from Steve at Hammer Bullets, I had three four shot groups that printed really well. All seated to just fit the mag (Rem 700 long) New Nosler Brass. Wind was gusty as hell, full value from the back but I wanted to at the very least see where these were going to get me fps and pressure wise. 81 loose group - didn't get any readings on my mag until the last shot... ** ** ** 3137 ** 82gr H1000 shots 2-3 1-4 were touching for a group size of just under .7 easy bolt lift. 3177 3172 3178 3168 10 83 all one ragged bug hole, slight vert string right at .55 easy bolt lift. 3212 3180 3208 3210 38 84 2-4 were basically one hole, 3 was .3 under 2 & 4 and I pulled 1 nearly a full inch up and a touch right. Primer's just starting to crater, easy blot lift. 3244 3239 3237 3244 7 85 blew out to over an inch with cratering starting to form more to my Un-liking, bolt still easy to lift. 86 two shots in to this grain weight and I was much the same as 85 but the bolt lift was noticeably firm. Time to stop... Ill try and post pics later. [/QUOTE]
