I shot 99 grain Hammer Hunter in my Grendel for a season using a CZ 527 24 inch barrel. I was using Alliant power pro varmite. Start at 99% of max load using standard bullets and move up until you hit pressure. Back off half to three quarter grain, Hammers like a little bit of a jump. Something...
Remember seeing a history channel documentary about him. Refusing to leave the pilot to die alone. Scope knocked off in the crash, seeing the bullet impact and adjusting to it. Amazing story.
I was in my late teens at the time, my friend was a couple of years older. He ask how many revolvers he'd blown up using a 44 special? Must of hit him wrong. Or the fact that we were so young, think he died within a decade of that. Remember the big hat and cigar in his mouth, if i remember...
