Not to sound snarky, belittling, or any other way, but your best option is to get some and try them yourself.
As per any reloading data. "This works in MY rifle. YOUR rifle is different.
Same with shooting.

Not sure if this helps put I'd did 7mm rem mag load work up and helped get the turret info for a huskemah scope and it hits everything out to 500 meters and 6" is the furthest we shot it. Just double the g7 + velocity worked fine or ask hammer. The 116 absolute in 2 different 270 wsms is extremely accurate to 500 meters
What speed and barrel twist?

I believe the 7mm was 1-11. It's an older rifle of a friend's. I believe I still have the information written down if you really want it. Not sure what your goal is but hammer bullets are extremely easy to tune so if you're curious, a box of 50 and a good powder will get you to 500 easily with a decent rifle
Cut my hand up so I can't shoot for a few weeks at least...
I've used hammers quite a bit just not absolute at any distance so was curious.

Didn't use the absolutes in the 7mm. Cant remember which one. In both the 270's, a brown medallion and an older savage ( not sure model) the browning was hitting a 3" gong at 500 meters (545 yards) and we shot the savage out to 600 in about 8" in some wind and mirage. The savage is a buddy's and he, his son and grandson have killed mule deer every year with it since I did the load work up for him. It's crazy how effective those little bullets are
That is 3 rounds at 500 yards laying prone on a hunting pack with a rear bag.

That'll do!!! Thanks
Appreciate the hammer hunter replies but looking for absolute hammer data.
As in chrono or what? I only chrono at the muzzle.
Accuracy at 500 yards.
