Look at Hammer Hunter Load Data thread, post #8 for data on Hammer Hunters. Spreadsheet is growing - not yet as extensive as AH spreadsheet.

Don't forget Heavy Hammers. I am working up the 121 Heavy in the 6.5PRC and 260Rem right now.
The Heavy Hammers changed names and are Hammer Hunters
"I will be changing the name of the Heavy Hammers to Hammer Hunters. They are for all intents and purpose the same."

For quite sometime I have looked for the cartridge dimensions of the 6.5 Sherman. Nothing yet. Does someone have a pic of the dimensions somewhere? Not on Sherman website. I would like to have a solid grasp of the dimensional differences between it and the 6.5-06 AI. From reading, it seems minimal, really minimal.
So, if you know where, I'd be obliged. No headstamped brass I understand, correct?
The 6.5 Sherman is made from 270 cartridges, blown out. A slight increase in capacity over a regular AI cartridge. They are usually a little faster than the AI version.
My Sherman will do 3339 FPS with a 140 Berger. Tried the 123 AH with H100V but hit pressure just under 3400 FPS. Going to try a different powder as I'm sure I should get closer to 3500 FPS. The Sherman does perform but brass prep takes awhile.
