[QUOTE="Saskquatch6, post: 2316775, member: 58704"] The 160 Hammers sound really interesting to me and would like to hear back how they work for you. I currently reload for 4 300 WSMs and 2 like Superformance and 2 like RL26. I don’t yet have access to Hammers, but after trying just about every other bullet available have settled on 165 Accubonds for deer and 168 TTSXs for moose and elk (btw I think the ABs would work fine for them also - just like the extra performance of the TTSX on the big boys). All 4 rifles are 1:10 twist and given your 1:11 I believe these bullets would be in your wheelhouse as well. I prefer the extra velocity and better trajectory these 165/168 class bullets provide (out to 600 yds my personal max range on game) and they’re tough enough to hold up when range is close. I’m thinking the Hammers in this weight range should be devastating. Good luck. Edit: The relatively short factory throats on our rifles mean the longer heavier bullets would have to be seated quite deep and encroach on powder capacity. 180s are ok, but much heavier and we experience declining returns - the above works for us, but I'd defer to Feenix et al re: longer ranges with heavier bullets.
