Big cow taken with 156 Berger at 320yds. DRTAnyone have a successful year with the 6.5 caliber and any of the above bullets?
Cheers!
The questions was asked why doesn't anyone use the 140 grain hammer? I use the 124 Grain HH in one of my PRC's on occasion so I had to look up what was available close to 140 grains. The closest match to 140 in the Hammer Hunter line, which is the type I use was the 137 HH which requires a 1 in 6.5 Twist rate. The do have a 139 shock hammer, which I hear also works very well but has a lesser BC value, can be stabilized in a 1 in 8 twist rate according to the hammer website. I have no experience with the shock hammers so I cannot share any real world results with them.The 131 gr Hammers were designed for 6.5PRC with 1 in 7.5.
Tell That To BANG FLOPELD m's are not a hunting bullet that is unethical and totally wrong have a nice day
Let's take a vote round 2! Elk hunting with the 6.5 prc out to 500 yards max
Options are 124 hammer hunter at 3400fps or the 156 Berger at 2900fps groups are the pretty much the same. Or 143 eldx factory loads at 3000fps
Thanks!
