30cal 227gr Hammers

[longgunshooter]

Hello all, Im looking at potentially developing a load with these soon. Suggestions?

Rifle in question will be my new 30-26 Nosler which shoots the 230 Bergers very well over 81gr of H1000.

What is the load density with the Berger load? I would use it as a start point with the Hammer. If it is crunching very much you could have trouble with bullet pushing back out. A little crimp will help with this if load is good. Any of the powders in this range should work well. The rl26 has been a nice powder in this same burn rate. We have also been using w780 ball powder with very good results. There are a lot of good powders in this burn rate range. Often our bullets will like a slightly faster powder as to not run out of case capacity.

Thanks for the prompt reply!

Im not certain about he load density... Not crunching powder yet but its close. I have another load that is also doing very well with the H1000. 210gr LRAB's over 83gr, its getting right at moa or a little under but I think its me holding it back from printing better.


Thank you for the suggestions, ill order some up soon and give them a try. It will be a after the holidays but Ill be sure to post up my results.
