Lighter weight, faster 308 win load

[ButterBean]

I ran into this video of Blue Wildebeest instant kill at 482 yds using 20" barrel .308 Win firing a 150 gr all copper Badlands Precision Bulldozer bullet.

124 Hammer out of a 300 Rum @ 4250,load was 98g of H4350, through the horn and the bullet shank and two petals were found in the far side of the neck just under the hide, the hide on this particular buff was 1-3/4" thick, it was DRT, This is also first hand information that can be verified, I know the round in question is 308 but this is a testimony on light and fast, the 124 Hammer hunter is your friend in my honest opinion here

We will have these available in the very near future and will be perfect for your needs no matter if your rifle is a 1:12" or 1:10" twist. We are also CA compliant. Thanks.

Are turning your own bullets or are you subcontracting another machine shop ?

Wao, incredible, 308 winchester at 4250 fps. Oh wait, thats not 308 winchester, its a 300 rum...
First hand information, so @ButterBean I am happy for you that you got to shoot such an annimal. I only dream of it.
@ButterBean I have so much respect of all the help you provided to so many shooters, and how often you gave your number to people to call you for more. I am sincere on this.
But NOT everything is about hammers. Just like not everything is about Green energy, or all about GM cars.
I am happy to live in a State where I have choices. My choices are Nosler, BT, AB and PT. But I am open to listen, learn and try others.

Happy Fourth and Keep an Open Mind!

I came from Rokslide where they have a great following, so I haven't seen the negativity from them here yet lol but the way you talk, I'm sure some will chime in.

I think they are all here now

I clearly stated that, Just showing an example of what the 124 will do pushed hard, 3200 plus is achievable out of the 308 so once again I will say the 124 Hammer Hunter is his friend here, Lots of great bullet options but this would be my personally choice

I have no reason to doubt the performance of hammer bullets, I have no reason to doubt so many people's experiences with them. I learn from hearing the experiences of people from all perspectives, not a single choice.

No, it is not.

I agree Brother, I was a die hard Barnes man for a long time and dismissed Hammers at Hammers until I tried them

 

[ButterBean]

No, it is not.

How would you know may I ask ?

And just to be clear I did not shoot that Buff, it was a member of an independent test group, but I can put you in touch with that fella and the PH to verify all information that I post

How would you know may I ask ?

Because I have no use for a 124g bullet regardless of make for any of my .30 cals from -06 and higher capacity.
