[QUOTE="wilkup, post: 2328550, member: 74276"] Been curious about this round since I got my 6.5 Sherman built 8 or 9 years ago when Rich mentioned he was thinking about it. I may finally have the right itch to scratch with Hammer’s new 175gr HH they introduced. Steve claims ~3400’ in the old Win Mag with that pill and if the Sherman could get close with a 24” barrel… I think that’s be just about as close to all around for where I live as I could get! “We designed this pure copper Hammer Hunter in a light weight form to put the 338's into a whole new velocity bracket. We loaded this hot rod into our .338 Lap imp for testing and reached a comfortable velocity of 3900 fps! Even with this impressive velocity it still shot solid sub 1″ at 200y. Translate this to the 338 Winchester Mag and we should be able to push the 3400 fps mark. With a bullet that will not come apart and deforms rapidly this is an extremely hard hitter.” Minimum twist: 1-14″ Bullet length: 1.24″ Nose length: .738″ Bullet weight: 175gr Estimated G7 BC: .198 [/QUOTE]
