[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1218040, member: 7999"] Assuming that your 30-06 is a 1-10" twist, the 181g Hammer Hunter will give you 50 to 100 yards more effective range than the 166g Hammer Hunter. I don't know the elevation that you will be hunting at so I chose 2000' elevation to run some quick numbers. You should be able run the 181g Hammers at 2750fps give or take. This would give you an effective range to 700 yards. This would keep you in the 1800+/- impact velocity. We have tested our bullets down to 1800fps to ensure that they will open effectively. I personally like 1800fps as a velocity floor even if the bullet will open at a lower velocity based on the amount of permanent wound channel produced. You will find the Hammers very easy to load for accuracy, they are very tolerant to seating depth. They will follow very closely to conventional 180g load data. They will usually run slightly lower pressure. Thanks guys for the good comments. Steve [/QUOTE]
