[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1927900, member: 33159"] Welcome from a CA native that no longer lives there!! I switched to Hammer Bullets for all of my hunting rifles a couple years ago and haven’t looked back. I load them in 8 different cartridges. Easy to load develop, and absolutely devastating terminal performance. My avatar has the mountain goat I shot will a Hammer bullet. In the 6.5-284, you’ll love the 124 gr. I used H4831 to get a great load at 3140 fps. RL23 is also a great powder. I have a hotter load at 3220, but the lower node is just tighter. In the 30-06, look at the 166 gr. I used W760. Cant remember off the top of my head what the velocity was. Call or email Steve Davis at Hammer Bullets. Customer service is fantastic. He’ll give you powder suggestions and expected velocities, plus advice on how to get the best accuracy out of them. Honestly, they aren’t finicky, and it usually only takes me about 10-15 rounds to find my final load. Good luck. Doug [/QUOTE]
