Howdy, anyone playing with 134 or 143 Hammers, in 7Prc. I'm going to start load development with them, and I am just going to shoot from the Hip so to speak.
I have most popular powders. Thanks David

Great, what gr. bullet are you using.

 

[central iowa couple]

Sorry...duh. 200 grain power hammer. 12 twist barrel

 

[central iowa couple]

Just running a ballistic calculator...i should be good to atleast 500 yds for elk this fall. Seriously considering it.

I'm getting an old 70s Rem 30-06 rebored to 35 Whelen, looking forward to my poor-man magnum. Should absolutely hammer in the 200-500 yard space.
