Hammer Hunter Load Data, (See page 1, Post 8)

Thank You.
It was hard to find but I did locate an A Tip seating stem, order is placed guess I will find out when it gets here. I wobble tested the 2 sample packs of Hammers I have here with my current seating stem and they are pretty wobbelly

I am using redding with ATIP seating die. I nearly have to max it out for the 213HH but is great for the longer bullets.

Updated the 30-06 180HH ladder that I did not go far enough. I did same thing again but I am pleased with what I got with a 22" barrel 700. 2886 fps with a 180HH in 22" brl is serious business!
These loads were safe in my rifle, do not assume it is safe in yours. Work up loads using standard safe loading practices.

Very nice! I finally decided to order a couple boxes of Hammers. Went with the 260 HH for my 338 RUM as well. I've got a 30" barrel, so expecting a little more speed!

My ladder with the 30-06 22" barrel and the 180HH has got me thinking of a 26" build. I got rid of a 30-06AI barrel from a used purchase that I thought I would NEVER use and now wondering if smart move. Then again, I would get a 1:9 twist which could open some additional opportunities.

Thanks Steve, another build off your bullets!

I know this all too well. It's either another rifle build or Steve has introduced a new bullet(s) that I just have to try

Will review posted information. Looking for a great load for the 300WM with the Hammers 214g. Rifle really likes the 212g eld-x.
Also searching for a load for the CA 338LM using the 255g Hammers. Both rifles will be used for upcoming Elk and Nilgi hunts
