I am getting low in primers. I would like to stay with the CCI brand since that is what all my loads are worked up with. I would like to find 1,000 of the 200's and 500 of the 250's. Located in central Pa. Willing to pay fair market value for them. Thanks!

back up

I have 1 1/2 lbs of CFEBLK I have no need of. Had used it in my 17 Hornet, and it performed very well. Will sell it for $45 or trade for a pound and a half of some other powder. Powders I would be interested in are Win 760, H or IMR 4350, IMR 4064 Ramshot TAC, Ramshot Big game, H4895, R19. Needs...

I too plan on seeing what this does to whitetail this year!! Should really put the hammer on them!!

1 1\2 inches was the last 3 shots. I was adjusting the scope so not really after groupings. I plan on loading maybe 5 more and really shooting for a group.

Here is a load for something completely different. 358 winchester with the 200 grain hammers (forget what they are called but the one with the 2mm hollow point. Similar to the hunters). Settled on 52 grains TAC. 6 shot velocity averaged 2685 fps(12 ft from muzzle) load data: 52 grains TAC, 2x...

Actually it was your data off the absolute data spreadsheet that I went off of!! So thank you sir!!

Yes I was planning on working with the 62.5 grain load

260 Remington Ruger M77 MkII 22" 1:8.5 twist barrel. Brass-SSA new, primer-CCI#250, Powder-H4350, bullet- 110 Hammer Hunter. Chrono results as follows 47.5 grns-3094 48 grns -3134 48.5 grns-3164 49 grn -3196 49.5 grns-3233( slight primer flattening)

I guess this is the place to post data?!! This was my first foray using absolute Hammers. Gun is a Savage 110 with a 24 inch McGowan 1:8.5 twist barrel chambered in 280AI. Load details: new Peterson brass, Hybrid 100V powder, CCI#250 primers, 140 grain absolute hammer bullets. Ran them over the...

Thanks for all the advice! My brother is also doing the same thing, and we keep each other accountable. The intermittent fasting along with the exercise looks like something I may need to look into. I am not sure about the 8 hr but may be able to do the 10 hr.

I am looking to Montana in 2 years to pursue Mule deer and Elk. Part of the reason for going is to force myself to get in shape. I am very much in shape if round counts. I am 5' 8" and almost 300 lbs. (embarrassing to admit) I have started my workout regime, and am almost a week in. I work a job...

Along with that, his data for the 140 grain I can no longer find....I was pretty sure the 3320 fps was from his 140 grain load....

Appreciate the work here...but did something get screwed up? Wanted to reference Steve's data (RockyMtn) on the 280 AI with 155 grain Absolutes...was thinking that the velocity was 3250 but now it shows 3320, and no longer has the powder charge nor the barrel specs which I am pretty sure it had...

Thanks OP for starting this, and everyone that added their voice whether agreeing or dissenting. I read the entire thread and there is much food for thought here. I don't have near the opportunities that some of you all have to hunt, so I rely a lot on others' experience with certain bullets...
