300 wsm and 166 hammer hunter load?

[hpmag308]

Gonna build a load with 166 HH chambered in the 300wsm. I have looked at the spreadsheet on this site and at nosler's data then at the speer data. I have RL26, H100v, IMR 4350, H4350, IMR 7828, and V560. Does anyone have any insight on which of these would produce the best results?

Look in your reloading book an start from there

There is no published data for Hammers other than here and Hammer Time

Start with H4350

The 166 will be great but if you move to the next bracket and run the 152's she will be smoking, Both are a great choice but I'd run the 152. and if your gonna be 500 and in run the 124's

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.
PLEASE NOTE THE WARNING AT TOP OF THE SHEET, THESE LOADS WERE SAFE IN MY RIFLE, USE STANDARD SAFE RELOADING PRACTICES TO WORK UP A LOAD IN YOUR RIFLE.

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!

3700's with the 124's 3500+ with the 152's

That'll do....Roy W is in his grave with that "I told you so" grin..
