More to my story... even though I haven't taken any game with a Copper Rose, I was involved in this amazing hunt.
This young man made a fine shot at 540 yards, 28 Nosler (custom), 160g McGuire Ballistics "Copper Rose" at 3,300+ fps. One shot DRT, didn't take a step! Sam was our guide, simply amazing!

By the way: Sam donated his guide services at no charge due to being a Youth Hunt, special draw in CA!

Well here we go. 130 grn TTSX, .308. These are an 18 round ladder. I'm using H335 as there are no compressed loads and I'm shooting out of a 20" barrel. I'm hoping for 3100-3200 fps.

Hammer is just up the road in Somers. That's one of the reasons I've leaned towards their stuff. I've stopped in and talked to Steve about bullets a couple of times and he's pretty knowledgeable and great to talk to about bullets, guns, hunting, and other stuff.

If those don't work. Give the 135 Hammer a go. From my 20" 308 they are loafing at 3123 FPS.

What powder are you using with those hammers?

My second favorite thing about Hammers: ran out Tue, ordered Wed afternoon…on my step this morning. First is mule deer fall-always. Working up for a new rifle with 6.5 123 Absulotes. Full disclosure, only 2 states away.

I would really like to follow your results. I have been considering using the 130s in my 30-06.

Stay tuned. I will post them here. You might get away with the 150s. I'm using them in my 300 WSM.

Yep, sometimes, peeps do not realize that LRH membership is global and assume it is readily available throughout. Cutting Edge might be coming near you, though.

BTW, my wife and I enjoyed our short Austria visit (river cruise from Passau, GE to Budapest) in 2017 and hope to return soon.

That is CFE 223. Not my preferred, but had it on hand and wanted to burn it up. Worked out well.

I am hoping to use the 130s on deer and antelope.
