[QUOTE="Tomjoad, post: 2214906, member: 117325"] Seconding several recommendations for Hammer Hunters. I’m running the 137gr in 308 with a 1-12 barrel. Very forgiving and fast with 4064 around 2950fps, also didn’t mind 8208xbr or RL15. A few notes on loading these: - I did have to dedicate and bed a seating die for them, otherwise they tend to grab the bullets. - they tend to show pressure signs way late and off the charts. - crimp dies helped tighten groups more than playing with coal. See the myriad posts on this from [USER=41385]@ButterBean[/USER] here as well as the hammer forum. [/QUOTE]
