[QUOTE="CMDR Kibo, post: 2117425, member: 106095"] I shot this cartridge in a Weatherby Mark V Accumark. My "accuracy" powder was H50BMG, 118 - 118.5 gr, for around 3,333 to 3,350 fps (at altitude) with 180 gr bullets (Scirocco, X-bullet, A-frames, Partitions). I kept the trigger stock but lightened it all the way down. My best groups ran at 5/8" at 100 yds. I had the COAL stretched out around 3.815, IIRC. I tried other slow burning powders (H1000, VV N170 & 165) and could get more velocity but not more accuracy. I don't believe I ran Retumbo through it. I have no experience with the Hammer Hunters. Perhaps try seating the bullet further out and a different powder. With the better trigger you have in there, I would expect that you can get those groups tightened up reasonably well. [/QUOTE]
