[QUOTE="WYO300RUM, post: 2582430, member: 32631"] I still have a box of about 35 or 131 HH I bought when I was working up loads for a couple 6.5 Needmoor's . I got them about 4 years ago ? I knew they were recommended for 7.5 twist or faster. Both mine were 1 in 8. I just wanted heavier than 124. Well they didn't shoot well. Imagine that, Steve was correct..124 shot great. I never tried them in two 6.5 PRC"s and a 6.5x284 because they all were 1 in 8 also. Same thing with an almost full box of 123 Absolute's in 6.5 PRC's. No fps gain. Steve explained that. Now I listen and learn. 😉 Muddyboots just enlightened me to the 180 gr. 30 cal. Hammer Hunters compared to the 181"s. I didn't even know about them. He used RL26 with them in 300 win mag. I was using 181 with H1000 with over 3440 fps out of a 28 in barrel in a 300 RUM. I never thought of using RL26 with 181. Thought would be a little to slow burn. He sent me 15 of the 180's for the Don't pet Fluffy Cow t shirt . I'm going to try in 300 RUM first and maybe a load in 300 Win Mag. I'm sure I'll be buying more 180"s to test. I still have a full box of 178 AH I have never tried yet... Thinking good in 300 win mag ? [/QUOTE]
