[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1644265, member: 52437"] All, Im thinking of loading up some hammer bullets in my wife's rifles. I will likely be using the sledge hammers since our max hunting range is about 300 yards. The 2 rifles in questions are a 7mm08 and a 6.5CM. For the 7mm08 I was thinking of using the 113 or maybe the 136grain sledgehammer and for the 6.5CM the 117grain sledgehammers. I want to keep bullet weights on the lighter side for lower recoil. Here are my questions: 1) How do you feel these will perform on deer out to 300 yards? 2) What powders do you recommend and because they have odd weights, how do I know where to start out with powder charges? For example, I usually look at a nosler manual and take a middle road charge and start there and load up till pressure OR until I reach max book load. 3) any other considerations? [/QUOTE]
