What kind of velocity should he expect from the 152s? And the 124's??
Compare 168gr loads should be close enough to start
Here is some data for the 166HH in the 300WSM with RL17. Loads for the 180 HH are also included on the page. It was submitted to GL Taylor and is the published loads. I know you are looking for other powder but just in case you can find RL17.

I second this. I built a 300 WSM and really didn't have much luck with the Hammers. Too long for my chamber I think. I started with 199s and worked down to 166. Just couldn't get them to group in my gun. If I go back to them I will drop to lighter weights but a load with 180 scirocco and super performance powder really came together for me so I doubt I'll try any further workup I'm that gun. Still hopeful for the 199 HH in my 300 PRC though.
3700's with the 124's 3500+ with the 152's
Running the 124's at 3650 with W760 with zero pressure. A nice "polite" load!
