Look at Hammer Hunter and Absolute Hammer load data on this Forum. Plenty of choices.

Yes i will do that

Howdy, hope all is good. From the sound of what you want to do, I would recommend the Hammer Hunter version of the Hammer bullets. And in the 130 to 143gr area, and I would use H- 4350. Since you say you have 15- 16lbs. And a LR primer don't need mag. primers. You may need a Lee crimp die, Midway has them. Start low and work up. Hope this helps.

Crimp dies will be in tomorrow and I will be posting results from 3 or possibly 4 calibers here soon as possible . Thanks for your interest in my endeavor here

7STW, 143 HH, 80.5gr rl25, .003 tension (crimping didn't work)

I'd run the 131 hh and try 4350 or reloder 23 for starters... run em as fast as you can safely.

With your 1-9.5" twist the best choice is going to be the 131g Hammer Hunter. At over 3400 fps this is a solid 700y performer on big game.

Look at your 4350's and staball could be really good.

Thanks Bob that tension is definitely something to keep in mind!

Would that be staball 6.5 ?

That's my plan

Yes

With the 131 Hunters, start with the Reloader 23 because you will end with it...
