Introducing the Absolute Hammer

[RH300UM]

@RH300UM You saw the same 300 fps plus increase in vel that we we found. That is fantastic!

Loading up another 10 rounds to go long with tomorrow. Hope the wind cooperates as it's been windy last week or so.

Brian made it out of the back country yesterday. They only got 2.5 days of hunting before the storm hit and snowed them in. No rams seen.

He is driving home today and we will get going on the 6.5's, 7mm, and 30 cal bullets right away. 8 twist 6.5 and 10 twist 30 cal are 1st priority.

I know you said 6.5s are in the 1st priority but if you had to ballpark timing would you say it would be weeks or months before being able to order the 6.5s?

Do you mind sharing your load?

Looking promisingly good.

Oh OK. I thought you were firing out of a 300 RUM.

Is there a load you've shot that is close to apples to apples in bullets? Speed wise?

sorry I'm not sure what your asking?
I've always shot the 180 hybrids out of this rig. Dabbled with a couple other bullets/loads from Hammer, Berger and Hornady
Hammers were the 169 and 177 Hammer hunters
Berger 184 Hybrid
Hornady 180 eldm
