27 Nosler and Hammer Bullets

[Mason Blackmon]

So I have a nosler rifle chambered in 27 nosler. I haven't done any loading for it yet as the only brass I have is in the form of factory loaded ammo, but that's about to change as I'm gonna burn through a box for the brass. I ordered some 117 Hammer hunters and 140 HH to play with nut I'm having trouble figuring out load data For the 117. The lightest bullet I've found load data for is a 130gr. Any ideas or suggestions on powder and charge weights for the 117? If not where should I be looking to get an idea? Thanks for the help and I'll post results once I start shooting.

Start here. GLTaylor is the "monk" keeping track of data submitted. If you search for Hammer with his name, you will get to the accumulated load data.

Hammer Hunter Load Data, (See page 1, Post 8)

OK, folks. Steve at Hammer Bullets has been getting requests for load data on Hammer Hunter bullets. There is an extensive spreadsheet for Absolute Hammer Load Data developed and shared by members on this Forum. Data for Hammer Hunters is on the Hammertime Forum, but it has not been placed...

Post your load data on same thread so George can add to mix!

Defiantly will do! I have frequented that spreadsheet a bunch to look at the great info accumulated there

I assume twist is 8.5?

Sounds like a superb thumper with 130gr hammers....

Yes it's a nosler factory rifle 8.5
The reason I went with 117 is because I posed on the hammer hunters and a guy commented that I could probably get it to 3800-3900 pretty easy and maybe over 4000fps which just sounded cool. I'm not going to be chasing a trophy elk with it this season, just a cow elk 250yds and in and maybe some cull aoudad rams and ewes
