[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1579066, member: 41338"] Used some IMR 4350 that's been sitt'in around for a decade or more. Cloud of yellow dust when I pour it in the hopper (scary). I only used the chrono on max charge test and only shot 4 shots for that. By my observations of the two closest loads (.5 grain apart) on that test, which produced a 8 fps spread, it should be right at 2802 fps. This velocity is virtually identical to the 168 gr. Bergers I was shooting. Accuracy is about the same or better than the Berger's as well. That said, I can't shoot much better than that anyway so accuracy potential may actually be better. Unlike the Berger's however, I didn't need to go through a half dozen primers before I found one that sucked the groups in. I know by just looking at these Hammer's, there's no flaws to be seen. Velocity is good, accuracy is good, bullet is supposed to do it's job. Now if I can just find some fish in a barrel. [/QUOTE]
