Absolute Hammer 264 win mag

[MagnumManiac]

US869 has been available at Midway and Brownells lately

I'm not in the US, and this surplus powder is no longer packaged where I am, it must have run out.

Cheers.

I went back and looked and there are more than I thought on the Hammer load data page will look at the absolute when get to a computer and away from this phone.

Be aware the faster burning powders are for the ABSOLUTE HAMMERS only . The other hammers run the normal powders . If this is not correct, please correct me Mr. George . Mr. George has compiled two (2) very extensive , separate , lists for the Hammer bullets .

Also have a 9" twist 338, but don't hear much mentioned in that cal with the Hammers

Have a 33 nosler that I couldn't get to group. With Bergers or Hornady ELDXs, could get inch groups but no better. Tried the 246 gr hammer hunters and was almost immediately shooting half inch groups. Looking forward to seeing what they do on meat and bone....

Not a big fan of US869 as it is not a rod type powder and it's small ball design makes it hard to work with a trickle or a spoon. It will also become static with motion so the more you try to be precise the worse it gets

To each his own. US869 out performs everything i have tried in my 338 Lapua and 6.5-300

Ok. Hopefully ButterBean or Steve will weigh in and share their experience here.
