[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1707839, member: 33159"] I load Hammers in 6 different cartridges. I only had to play with seating depth for my 300 WSM, and seating it 0.005” deeper tightened the group right up. They are extremely accurate bullets and devastating on game. As with most monolithic bullets, you want to run them faster than standard cup and core bullets. All but one of my rifles have a standard twist. When I rebarrelled my 7 STW, I went to a 1:8 twist so I could shoot the 177 gr Hunters. I get a little under 3100 fps with those bullets, while I get a little over 3500 fps with the 143 gr Hunters. All my rifles shoot Hammers at 0.5” moa or less. Below is a photo of the 177 gr in action. The bullets are easy to develop a load for. [ATTACH=full]148494[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
