Looking for suggestions on using hammer bullets In my 257 wby. Vanguard ll With stock 24" barrel. Any thoughts on which wreght or model of hammer bullet ,speeds to send it, which powders to try etc Would be used for w.T. deer under 5000' elevation. Thanks guys Tribb
 
Look up the hammer hunter load data thread on here. Should give you a good idea where to start. If you have a standard twist barrel you will be limited to lighter bullets. I was able to hit 4000+ fps with my 257 Wby and 92HH last weekend when load testing with a couple different powders. Good luck!
