39 Hammer ready to rock....

[dogz]

I've shot some of Steve's 39 grain Hammer's in my Howa "Mini" .204 along with some AA2520 a friend gave me to try. It shot very well, now I just need FWP to grace me with a Lope tag this year (or my wife).

Wasn't sure the guns twist would work out with it, but it's doing very well at 100 and 300.

Plus I have orders to find a boar badger this winter to Hammer into a rug

Cool! Always thought it was interesting that hammer actually makes monos for 17 and 20 cals. Not sure what I'd use them for but it's cool.

What barrel length and muzzle velocity you gettin? What make of brass is being used?

You know we all obsess over every detail
