Absolute Hammer load data

Hey sorry if I am late to this party... and load data for the 129gr absolute hammer .264 in 6.5 cm? H4350, varget, or H4831s preferred
 
That's a long bullet, it's almost 1.5" in length.

H4350 is your best bet if your barrel will stabilize the bullet...

The 129AH requires a 1:7.5 twist to stabilize, and probably better in a 1:7

For a standard 1:8 twist, I'd be looking at the 109gr AH myself.

Here's load data from Hammer - they used to have a link on their Website, but I can no longer find it.




Here is their load data page (did they remove this from the website?)



Here's some user compiled load data, shared in post #2, updated Sept 9 of this year;

 
First dabble with the AH. Wow is all I can say.
Tikka action, 22 inch 7.5 twist PBB prefit
6-6.5 PRC with 87gr AH
Virgin 6.5 PRC ADG necked down
Fed 215M
6.5 Staball powder
Starting:
56.5gr- 3462
Ending:
61gr-3863

61gr was max pressure for sure. Near bolt lock. Had a nice node I'll explore more at 58-58.5gr in the low 3600 mark.

For comparison a 108 ELDM over RL26 is 3330 out of the same rifle.

I run 47.3 gr Superformance behind 87 gr Absolute hammers in my 243 wssm with 1:8 twist. Getting 3460 fps with no pressure. It drops deer instantly.
