Such a sweet feeling after the countless range trips leading up to rifle season, trying to get everything perfect.

Wow, I'm happy to see that. You're set to roll, bud. That'll punch a tag. We'll be looking for the "hammered" elk photos in a few days.

Awesome! Good Luck this weekend! Them Hammers stretched out of the 28 case are dead sexy

Yeah they are!! My barrel is about shot out lol. It was throat for the 195's and that hammer can still go another .08 further out of the case haha. I just want 4 drive bands in the neck of the case, so I seat it that deep.

I run the 177 HH and now crimp per ButterBean. Look nice and as you've shown shoot even nicer.

If you can get steady, any critter under 750 is yours. Just make sure you are steady and you will have dead critter

What's the minimum terminal velocity for reliable expansion on that Hammer bullet? Nice shot and congrats on hard work paying off.

Typically figure 1,800 fps as the magic number.

I tried the crimp, it made no difference for me. However my performance was already exceptional.

1800 FPS is recommended minimum expansion velocity. So at 8000' that's a little over 1000 yards.

Yes sir! That's what I'm planning to do!

How large is the orange dot you were shooting at? By the looks of it, it may be 1 or 2 inches is my guess. If so the your well under 1/2 moa.

It's a 2" circle that I welded right there. So that I can paint in the exact middle every time. Major OCD lol.

I would say what ever steps out is going to have a bad day in front of that. With a gun/ load work up shooting like that I would say 1000 easy on a calm morning.

Great Shot and Good Luck.
