First Elk using Hammer Bullets

[Swatman05]

I loaded 199 HH in my son's 30 Nos and it loved them. It shot 215 bergers very well also, but I just thought I'd try the hammers. Loaded 10 rounds with H1000 with 2 rounds each at 1/2 grain intervals. Speeds ranged from 3139 to 3287 fps and the last 7 rounds went into a .625" group! When I switched from Nosler brass to ADG, had to drop down a full grain. My son has taken several animals with them, including a nice eland.

That's awesome!! I plan on using ADG Brass as well! I'd LOVE to hunt Africa someday.. But it's really expensive.. LOL

Great load data here. What rifle weights are producing manageable recoil with with 200gr 3000 fps plus .30cal projectiles?

I don't get thinking bullets and brass are expensive when you spend $5000 plus on a custom rifle. You have a great rifle go with best components if they work
