[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1216419, member: 7999"] Things are looking good with the re designed .338 303g Hammer Hunter. Shot it this morning at 200y doing fire forming loads with my new 338 Lapua Imp. It is a 30" 9 twist Lilja. All holes were nice and round and shooting sub 1" at 200y. At my 3000' elevation this bullet is a little marginal for stability and still shooting nicely. Headed out tomorrow for a long range test and give it a go with full tilt loads. Assuming that it will all go well tomorrow, I will be getting fresh new box off to you guys that bought the original one. Will have them out by Monday. If something ugly shows up tomorrow I will post it here. Also will be giving the new Hammer Hunter .338cal 285g a run at 1000y tomorrow. This one is designed for 9" twist and is probably the one that I will hunt with this fall. It will be interesting to see how the two compare as far as bc and velocity. Also considering the 303g will be suffering a little loss of bc due to marginal stability. I will post how this turns out as well. We will have 4 rifles and 5 loads to wring out tomorrow. Weather is supposed be nice so the only thing I am worried about is mirage. Steve [/QUOTE]
