Absolute Hammer load data

[GLTaylor]

Now you went and done it! Kicked the demon out from under his rock. Wonder where he's hiding now
DANG IT BBEAN. Now I gotta try harder. No luck so far. 3952 isn't 4000

Based upon limited data, you need to use powder in the Varget to CFE 223 range. Get your lovely wife to print the most current spreadsheet

She is still puny , can't get her down in my office just yet ! ;-)))))

What's not to like, plus you know I'm a velocity whore

 

[ButterBean]

Accuracy Sir ?

3/4 MOA but that's as good as I can shoot

Savage!!! I'd like to put one of those in a hog to see it pop like an over inflated ballon.

That really makes the 26" 300 RUM sporter barrel that's been sitting in the corner more appealing now.

Now this won't be as spicy as @ButterBean RUM, but I just got my new 1-7" twist 270 win barrel in on Friday. I'll be trying the 139gr AH's to help augment the data from @nwmnbowhunter. I'll be trying out RL16 and Hybrid 100v as I have a bit of both. I have H4350 and Staball to try too if needed.

Super preliminary results from the new 270 win barrel and the 139 gr AHs. Here's a bit of variety in the powder selection.


Tikka T3
xcaliber 270 win 1-7 twist, 24" done by Crown Ridge
139gr AH
Win Brass 1x fired, neck turned, primer pocket uniformed, trimmed & full Length sized
3.388 COAL
1/8 turn crimp LEE FCD
CCI 200 primers

RL 16 - 70 deg F
53.0 3017
54.0 3080
54.5 3134 slight stiff bolt, light ejector mark
55.0 3158 slight stiff bolt, light ejector mark Stop

H100V - 78 deg F
54.0 3055
55.0 3124
56.0 3157 slightly stiff bolt
57.0 3218 slightly stiff bolt + ejector mark
57.5 3238 Blown primer??!!!! Once again, these bullets seem to pressure out quick, be careful!

H414 - 82 deg F
47.0 2777
-
49.0 2916
49.5 2919
50.0 2959
50.5 2992
51.0 2988
51.5 3049 Slight stiff bolt
52.0 3053 Slight stiff bolt + slight primer crater End of ladder, stopping.

Other notes:

This barrel seems to have potential. I have not been shooting for groups but each of these ladders is holding well under 1.5 MOA, the RL16 ladder was ~.75 MOA

I'll try Staball 6.5 next, then possible H4350. Then from there finish break in and finalize a load.

Great, so now I have to buy a MagnetoSpeed to catch my 300 RUM, which means I'll be justified in a 204 Ruger then a 20-250 then a 25-06AI and before you know it I'll just be another guy shooting lasers instead of thumpers.

Create your own wildcat. Perhaps a huge .358" cal (to my mind "thumpers" start around this diameter) and drive light-ish monos to 4K. The 350 legend is a ballistic joke. But the 350 laserthumper has a nice ring to it…

LRH pretty much turning into a Hammer bullets sales site. I sure they are great bullets but I am pretty sure they are not the only bullets that gets the job done. Sorry Bean.
