I feared I missed the release of the new Hammer High BC prototype!
To be totally honest, that's the first thing that went through my mind...I feared I missed the release of the new Hammer High BC prototype!

What powder? 2950 is a decent speed for the 168s.
I am running the 184s at either 2800 w a moderate charge of H1000 or at 2916 w. a warm load of RL26 for late season elk hunting.

RL26, just breaking in the new brass so I'm not going to push it...
Love the load, but hate how dirty it is.

RL23 works good too. Cleaner, a bit more stable above 84* if you ever get that warm.
H1000 is a bit slower, but way cleaner.

Good to know
I am also in the final stages of barrel break in for my 7SS and the 168 VLD-H bullets. They are indeed very accurate. I am loading with N565 and very pleased with it for the 168 VLD-H, 175 EH and the 180 VLD-H. Good velocity and accuracy on all.
