For comparison, look up Hammer Hunter Load Data. You'll see some very good loads and much better velocities.

Just ordered some 143GT hammer hunters to try in the 280 Ackley. I love this caliber. I hope the hammers will work on hogs. We snipe them from a mesa shooting down across s hay field. Ranges from 200 to 750 ads. Been using Barnes TTSX's, & Sierra hollow points.

You will be impressed with terminal performance and ease of finding a good load.
Don't hesitate to go lighter in bullet weight and more speed!

Ok thanks, looking forward to giving them a try.

I'm in the process of building a 280AI. I've got several brands and weights of 284 bullets. The HH 120 and 131 have shot well in 7RM. The 120's were loving H4350 and pushing 3500 fps without any pressure signs.

That's awesome. Awaiting on mine to show up so I can work up a load in June when my eyes Doctor says I can go back to shooting. Re all looking forward to trying them. They will probably replace my Barnes TTSX that I' m nearly out of.

Great choice in cartridge! Be careful, you may find yourself in the .280AI family!
