11.25 twist in 24 in barrel.Barrel length and twist?
Every thread gets people thinking and talking about other things. I appreciate everyone's input and even when things get off subject I still learn a lot for reading posts.I thought we were talking about loading for a 152 Hammer Hunter as that's what the OP asked about?
For the Absolute this is correct for the HH's look at the the 140g info for a reference pointSo are you telling me that a 152 grain hammer would or should be loaded like a light 130'ish grain bullet? I am very new to reloading and want to limit my purchases of material right now due to the current circumstances and lack of inventory.
im not sure if asking for others recipes for loading is a no-no because they have their own secret sauce that took a lot of time and development so please forgive me if it is. I'm just trying to limit my expenses and learning curve right now
The HH's also require a faster powder and more of it, just not as pronounced as the AH'sNo the 152 is the standard Hammer Hunters, the 151 is the AH. All the AH style bullets require faster burn rate powders like lighter style bullets. Or they won't achieve absolute status and just basically match what the normal Hammer Hunters do. These guys have 30 pages of data for you on here, just do a search on Absolute Hammers and you'll find it. Good info!!
You'll love the 124'sYep. 30-06 with 137 HH I ran into the start of flat primers at 55.5gr of H4895 running 3262FPS. Backed down to 54.6 at 3215avg, still fine tuning because well I got time before hunting season. Gonna shoot these this year and this hunting season. Out running my 7RM at the moment. Might go to the 124gr next year since Bean seems to be hammering that point.
Don't have as good a powder selection for the 7RM and 131 HH and I'm fiddling with it to see if I can get rolling how I want with these light bullets and may just have to wait for more powder selection to be available.
Good luck with the 308.
H322, Benchmark, H335 and XBR8208What would be the preferred powder in .308 win for the 124HH; Varget?
