Another buck hammered with the 284win and 177 hammer hunter

[Swinehunt74]

Another 7mm, another Hammer Hunter projectile, another successful hunt. Sorry it all sounds like old hat
Congratulations on another 7mm success story.

My F-Class and fav Hunting rig/caliber. Congrats on super hunt with one of the most overlooked calibers...

That's a great deer. I opted to try a lighter weight bullet in my 284 and just ordered some 120 HH.

177 hammer hunter did the trick. 350 yards. 7mm hole in and a nickel size hole out. Lungs turned into liquid. Big Blacktail are hard to beat. Who else love to hunt the Grey Ghost?

Nice Buck.

I built a new 284win long action late last year and designed the gun around that bullet. The same throat they use on the F class guns is perfect for long copper bullets. I'd have to find the reamer sheet to remember exact numbers. I prefer heavy for caliber bullets. It shoots 175-ELDX very well with the same load @ .015 jump.
177HH LOAD :
.020 jump
56gr 4831sc @ 2820fps
Lapua brass and CCI BR primers

Nice buck.

What twist?

Another 7mm, another Hammer Hunter projectile, another successful hunt. Sorry it all sounds like old hat
Congratulations on another 7mm success story.

Don't you know God's favorite caliber is 7mm? About fifty years ago I switched form thirty caliber to 7mm because the BCs were better. What's funny is the longest range deer kill was 274 yards and the longest elk kill was 400 yards.

I did kill a rock chuck at 527 yards, but that was with a .223 firing a Hornady 75 grain Amax.

Curious to know what BC you used for this bullet and how far you confirmed drops. I shoot this same bullet in my 7STW. My local range is limited to 300 yards. Kestrel lists its G7 BC at .237 while Hammers website has the approximate BC as .313.

You'll like the 120 HH. I shoot it in my 280AI and it's a laser beam of death.
