Lol yep that's what does it. Sorry I forgot the sarcasm font. Man I wish I didn't have such a new barrel on mine.
Lol! It might be a good idea for the guys that can't get past shooting lighter than 200g in their 300's. The 181g will wind up out running it, but it will have the extra weight that does translate in to energy and more so momentum.Just put a flat point on it, wad cutter esq but with a hollow cavity. Might have the B.C of a brick but should hit hard.
Steve, the Heavy Hammer. Can a near 200gr be made to work in a 1:10 for a 30? I wanted to run the 199 hunter but I was right on the edge of stability even with the velocity mine can generate

I'm in that camp as well. Slowly coming around though. I will say, when my RUM needs a new barrel, it will be twisted for heavy bullets. Like the 199. mtmuleyI think he's talking about me!
If you look at published data like Hodgdon or Nosler for like weight bullets you can use those start loads to work up from. The Power Hammer will show a bit less pressure than a conventional lead core bullet, so those start loads will be safe.Anyone have a good recommendation for a load for a .308 using the 165gr Power Hammer bullets? ....and for a 30-06 as well?
