@Jbumblebee
Thanks for the data. I'll post it.
Suggest you look at the Hammer Load Data thread. Others are getting significantly higher velocities with the 169gr projectiles. Your lighter Shock Hammer should give you more speed?

 

[Jbumblebee]

You're welcome.

I picked the 160 gr because it matched my barrel twist. I'll have a look at the 169gr. I did match Bodeans velocities using the 143gr Hammer hunters with 7828 SSC which I'll be posting later.

I think you still have about 4g to go on your ladder. I am hoping you will see 3100 fps. Don't jump up, keep working up.

I have loaded up 3 more at one grain increments. Probably hit the range next week. Thanks, Steve.
