[QUOTE="MarkA, post: 1552778, member: 5220"] One thing I forgot to add was that I did test the 110 Hammers in the .260 with Federal 210GM primers first and it shot just under moa barely at 300yds. But talked to Steve and he mentioned that he uses Magnum primers foremost in all calibers. So I tested the exact same load of 47gr H4350 again with the Federal 215GM and WOW cuts groups more that in half. Anytime I'm using a powder that may be a tad slow for bullet weight I will shoot it in the dark and look for muzzle flash, especially if its cold. I've seen flash suppressors with more flash than I get with this load, golf ball size and snappy ignitions. IMO Hammer bullets really like the kick in the butt at ignition. Some friends i have set up I have learned not to be afraid of going to tad faster burn rates than you would for most bullets of equal weights, the hammer just doesn't have much bearing surface.
