[30378wbymag]

N565 w/140gr +

R25 w/120 -135gr.

Picked up some StaBall HD, looking @ Hodgdons data this powder looks VERY promising. Hodgdon has updated their site:

There's an entire thread dedicated to hammer load data and a bunch for the 65PRC. See the attachment below and the go to post 8 for all of the data.

Hammer Hunter Load Data, (See page 1, Post 8)

OK, folks. Steve at Hammer Bullets has been getting requests for load data on Hammer Hunter bullets. There is an extensive spreadsheet for Absolute Hammer Load Data developed and shared by members on this Forum. Data for Hammer Hunters is on the Hammertime Forum, but it has not been placed...

VV560 seems interesting, but wondering for those who reload this cartridge use what powder with what bullets? I know the answers can be varying because of what the barrel likes best, but still which powder has been the most go too powder for this cartridge? Powder charge info isn't necessary, just which bullet with which powder works in your gun?

Berger 144 Hybrid and H-1000.

I'm using N565 for 140-156 grain bullets. Good speed, stability and case fill.
