Hammer 181 Hunters leaving an oblong hole in the target

The 22" 6.5SLR w. 124 HH is about max @ 44.0gr H4350 @ 2935fps. Just starting to crunch.

The 26" 6.5SS w. 131 HH I am still testing. But even with a new barrel with only 40 rounds down it is still pushing them @ 3210fps so far.
 
You might look at rl33 or N570 if you can find some.

Steve, will that slow of a powder will work well with the 152 in the RUM?

I went with RE22 as I thought the slower stuff wouldn't get enough burn to pressure it up.

I 've been waiting till my current barrel gets toasted , as I 've been shooting 300 grain slugs, (338 cal ) and Hammers need a faster twist than 1:10 in that weight class. I'm addicted to speed, tho, and you guys are getting me all worked up!! Think I may try the lighter Hammers, 230 gr or so, maybe I can get some impressive velocity ,too, like you guys!
