I am also back looking now that the Federal Terminal Ascent’s have dried up. They worked well in my 300WSM….I used the 175gr in my 20 inch barrrel for the extra velocity.
Am really thinking I may give the Hammers another try.
The shooter was sighting in his 25-06 last Fall and somehow mixed up cartridges and fired a 308 Win. He was lucky that others were there to help get him to hospital.
Yes lots of folks running crazy pressures in 22 Creedmoor because the brass and rifles quality can hide excessive pressure and they just pull data from places like this.
Best suggestion is go to Hodgdon website as they have good pressure tested data and if your velocities are much higher with...
5 Bix-nAndy two stage Tac Pro ‘s
2 Bix-n Andy two stage Markman
2 TriggerTech Diamonds
Still have a few Jewells and Timneys in some less often used rifles.
Just to add to post above.
H4350 seems to be a popular powder for 22 Creedmoor but not sure it’s a great choice? This is just an opinion based on a good bit of experience and a little data from independent pressure test on my old load that I used forever that turned out to be way over accepted...
This load would probably lock most rifles you must have your bullets seated out with long throat.
Mine couldn’t get past 42.5 without sticking bolt and ruined brass.
Have lots of experience with 20-21 inch barrels and speeds above 3350 are hard to come by until you get to 74,000 PSI
Reloder 26 is what gives highest velocity in the 22Creedmoor with 75’s….but unless you run 28 inch barrel and run pressures up above 70,000 PSI you won’t get 3650fps.
There are supposedly some St Marks powders that are being used by manufacturers that are very temp stable but not being released to the public market at this time. It would be nice to have Ball powders that are as stable as extruded powders on the market.
ok you asked for it...

I doubt for your application it’s worth it but if you read all of the review below you should know for sure...
