You may also use regular LR primers for more progressive burn and lower pressure peak (using more powder). It is not uncommon to be able to burn 3-4 grains of powder more before reaching pressure😀
Just john,
Look at the data for the 26 Sherman Mag. Close cousin for the 6.5-300 and a bunch faster, with same bullet. You will find slower powders don't do as well with Absolutes. (I did have a 30" barrel)
Easy. Go to Hammer Hunter Load Data on this Forum or Hammertime.
Also data on Absolutes and the new HHTs.
Just do a search for the above. Over 400 pages of load data!
Smiths frequently stamp an identifier and a serial number (theirs) on the bottom of a barrel (out of sight) to identify the work as being theirs. I know mine does.
7 RUM, 22-250 AI, 26 Sherman Mag (300 PRC Imp necked down to .26. Also 243 AI. 4th bbl on 243, have fire-forming bbl for 22-250 AI. gonna need another bbl for the 26 S Mag soon.
Morning Floyd!
Thank you. I found some locally. Only bought 1 lb. (Not like me). It was $87.99/lb!!!! Hope this isn't the direction of the future. If so, I'll just do without!!!
For the comprehensive load data sheets, go to Reloading on this Forum and search Hammer Hunter (or whatever bullet you're interested in) Load Data.
Or go to Hammertime and also look under Reloading. Hammertime is easier than here.
Yes. The load data tables are updated at least monthly. Current version is Jan of this year. Update dates are posted at the top of the spreadsheet for each bullet type.
Welcome to the Forum!
Go to Hammer Hunter Load Data to get an idea of possible velocities. Also data on Absolute Hammers and Hammer HHTs.
Be conscious of twist requirements and you'll likely find lighter bullets than you're used to work very well.
