[QUOTE="huntinghuasna, post: 2734998, member: 109227"] I developed this load with help from the Hammer boys. I asked for a bullet recommendation to try in my .308 based on killing deer and large pigs inside 400 yards. The recommendation was to try and get a 124g HH flying at 3,200 fps. Out of the recommended powders RamShot TAC was the only one to get me there. Not shooting bug-holes but I'm done at 1 moa for inside 400 yards. The Kimber is super light and a little tricky to shoot but I love it for packing in. This load has drop a few deer and pigs so far, DRT, furthest shot at 180 yards. I could've tested at 380 yards but why when I knew I could get closer. I've also had great luck with a 130g Barnes TTSX. [LIST] [*]Kimber .308 w/22" barrel [*]124g Hammer Hunter over 46.6g TAC [*]Starline brass w/ CCI #400 primers [*]3,115fps [*]1 moa, ES ~15fps. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
