Hammer Hunter Load Data, (See page 1, Post 8)

[warrbuk]

Searching for a load for a 28 Nosler and 169 HH.
ADG and Nosler brass
CCI 250 and Rem #9 1/2 M primers
Powders available:
H 1000, N 570, N 565, N 560, Ramshot Magnum, 7826 SSC, IMR 4831

Lots of info on this thread and spreadsheet, but only one (that I could find) load for any of these powders and this bullet. It seemed to be a very hot load and I am more interested in accuracy and ease of use on components than speed, just for speeds sake.

Your input on load data for the 28 Nosler and 169 HH is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

My 28 is 8 twist and long throated.
Adg brass, CCI 250, 83.5 grains N570 .281 mandrel .003 tension, no crinp
I seat the mouth of the case on the rib of the bullet

Ya i didnt want to try the high node either

Thanks for the information. Greatly appreciated. What is the resulting jump for your load?
The twist rate on this rifle is 8.4 and throated for the 195 EOL Elite Hunter Bergers

If you're willing to go up in weight, the 124 HH with RL16 is a fantastic combo in the Creed. The photo below is at 300 yards

load data?

I cant remember off the top of my head

I can look tonight when I get home, but its been my experience that the Hammer Hunters can be seated well off the lands and shoot exceptionally well.

I measured it up .051 off the lands.

I'll have to look it up. But, it is listed in the Hammer Hunter load data spreadsheet if you don't want to wait.

Just jon,
Are you sure your chrono is working right? Your absolute and HH loads were both eratic?

 

[just_jon]

GL,

Labradar is fine. Just a couple of fat finger typos. Varget 50.2 should be 3731, not 3131 and RL15 50.0 should read 3657 instead of 3687. I've edited post to show corrected data. Good catch.

Whew! You had me concerned!

338 RPM …some self-extrapolated data I got to test



six lug Accumark 24" barrel



175 Hammer hunters so far so good.



69gr RL16 3050 fps (same velocity as factory in my accumark six lug, but they used 185 TTSX)

70gr RL16 3065 same hole as above

71gr RL16 3105 1/2" apart from above group



64 gr H4895 3220 fps safe max in my mind. just slight cratering.......



70 gr CFE223 3100 fps



Modified Ladder test so I know where I am at with pressures. I had nothing to go one so I did not want to waste a whole day pulling ammo.



Thinking 69-70 RL16 should be very accurate and is not close to max load.

Fotis,
When you finish, please post final results, inuding twist, primer, OAL, etc. Thanks!

Looks like H4350 is the best so far. Will also test Staball 6.5 (since its widely available) to see how it stacks up.
