You got any RL26?? I've got the 143 running over 3500 fps in my STW with it.

That's what I'm talking about, we were running the 140 NBT's faster than 3300 back in the day

For what's it's worth. I just ran the 131's out of my stw 26 inch barrel and I hit pressure at 3723. Note that was not a friendly load it's comfortable and safe at 3636.

I'm running the 143 HH out of my 7 RUM at 3650, for what it's worth.

I never found pressure. Got it up to almost 3600 and got nervous. This was my first foray with Hammers about 3.5 years ago, so I was scared I'd blow myself or the gun up. Plus, it shoots extremely well around 3500 fps. A new brass load loves it at 3472 fps and an ES of 2 or 3.........can't remember it exactly. I want to say the fired brass load is at 3540 fps range. I'll have to look at my notes

You could likely get that velocity up quite a bit IMO. My 25" 7WSM will shoot the 143HH @ 3,200 ft/sec with RE23 and @ 3,350 with RE26.

Loaded up some 130 Shock Hammers for my 300 BLK bolt gun a few days ago and ran them over the chrony this morning, just for fun. I understand this isn't by any stretch a long range rifle or load, but if someone has a young child who wanted to hunt or if someone just wanted a very low recoiling round, it is a viable option. Settled on 20.0 grains of Win 296 with Win brass and CCI 400's loaded to 2.100". This is a hot load for a BLK according to the books, but the bolt lift was easy. Velocity was over 2300 fps so I would expect the bullet to do a decent job. By comparison, I top out at around 2400 with a 110 grain Barnes TAC-TX with this rifle.
