My 181gr Hammer Hunter bullets arrived!
« on: March 28, 2018, 05:37:01 PM »
They were just delivered today. Great looking bullet!

I'm going to load these up for a .300 Win Mag. Curious to see the velocity gain I will get over my other 180gr loads. (180 BT, 180 SST).

At the velocity I will be shooting them at I figure a G1 BC of .567.

What length barrel and powder are you going to use? My newly built 300 win mag has a 31" Krieger barrel on it and pushes a 208 hornady ELD Match at 3025 fps+-3-5 fps with 75.8 grs of h1000. Depending on powder and barrel length you could be pushing 3150+ fps. Let me know how it groups those bad boys. I might get some of those and try a hunting load.
