Introducing the Absolute Hammer

[Buster Hemlock]

RH300UM or anyone else that has got to shoot these at distance, is the higher BC that you saw compared to Steve's initial testing on the 155's proving true? I have some sitting at my place that I'll be doing some work up for in my 7 SAUM initially and my 7SS once it's finished. Going to be at least two weeks until I can though. Really hoping the higher BC holds up and with the extra speed it would be one heck of a bullet.

I'll say it's better than advertised
I'm a test and retest again and then test again to verify type loader/shooter. I have 1 more test at long range (1k) before I trust the numbers I get. The accuracy and velocities have passed those tests for me.
I did a primer test for my 7saum load this morning as one of the tests. My first load test with the AH bullet resulted in a erratic load. Switched primers and it was 1 ragged hole and Es of 6!

Amazing what difference primers can make.

I'm getting 3348 fps
RE26
Using a powder drop tube that I built to get the powder in the case

just wondering what velocity you got with regular 155gr Hammer Hunters...what your velocity gain was when switching to the AH

 

[RH300UM]

I never shot the regular 155HH just the 169 HH@ 3078 fps in my 7 saum

 

[25WSM]

I'm gonna try the saum today. Sorry to all the Creed people but I'm lazy and all the saum tools are already on the bench ready to roll. But the Creed is definitely next up. High hopes for both. Not too sure about this crimping thing. Never crimped a round in my life that wasn't a 45-70 or pistol.

Try both ways and see the results if you want to.

 

[25WSM]

I don't have a crimping die. I use all compatition seaters. So no can do. But I can increase my neck tension a little.

Just saw the new 30 cal 179 grain AH on Hammer's website.

.308 Cal-178gr Absolute Hammer™ - Hammer Bullets

This 30 caliber 1-10" twist will run in most of the standard twist rate factory rifles. In our testing of this Absolute Hammer™ we saw velocity gains in the 30-06 that puts it in the 300 Winchester Magnum performance class. When tested in the 300 Winchester Magnum the velocity gain put it...

Wow just think about the 308 win with this bullet 2800 to 2900 should be pretty cool, darn sure extend your hunting range

It's gonna take the 308 to a whole new level

 

[25WSM]

Extra 300 fps makes everything better. Put those in a rum and it would be a laser.

I know someone who is doing that already with the RUM

Now I'm glad I've held off finishing my little 308 load project too! As soon as Steve and Brian get the 338's up I'll be getting my order in for both!
