just emailed him for load data.
hammer is more expensive but he puts load data straight on his website. that is a +1 from me.
hammers site is way more polished too. that is your #1 marketing tool, a good website. it kills me when these small companies have a crappy website. and too little info about your product, just shooting yourself in the foot.
here is makers "tech data"

Unfortunately, both the doe and the black bear I shot were complete pass throughs. Both were under 50 yards. It looked a bit like a broadhead wound except there was some bruising around the wounds. The petals are sharp as !@#$, almost like a serrsted knife blade. Both animals dropped within sight. I have to check my other phone to see if I still have pics.

What are you using these in? And will you post load data and results
Oh no, how did you manage to load it without data?
Man, I cannot wait to load the incoming pills we are getting. I hope it comes with load data, or you and I will struggle through it.
to me its safer to get a starting point and to know some recommended powders.Oh no, how did you manage to load it without data?

i can make an educated guess where to start but if the info is there, why not use it?
i dont have time to just shoot willy nilly and make up loads
but thats just me
True, but it is not a show-stopper for me. I, too, do not have much time, but it is also not a show-stopper. I am using about 5 bullets with no load data or minimal data on their site, one of which does not even have a website - that is not a show-stopper. One of the bullets I am using recommended loading it as bullet maker X. We all have choices to make, and end-users have the ultimate decision on the matter and its consequences. Cheers!

Custom 6.8 Western with 1in 8 barrel. I plan posting my load data
Paul from Maker told me Thursday their website is currently being completely rebuilt. Hopefully the web design team is prompt.

I have a 28-260ai with a 7.5 twist I've tried the 170 eol and they shot great but the 145eldx have the best accuracy and performance on hame has been exceptional so I have trouble wanting to try other bullets
Talked to Paul a couple weeks ago and he said he's finally starting to make some 35 Cal T-rexs. First ones are going to be 200grs and then then a 240-250gr.
