They run well up to around 3500. Thats as hard as I have pushed them
How was your accuracy as compared to let’s say the 195 EOL? I have not shot the Hammer 177’s yet, word has it they are very forgiving when it comes to seating depth.

N570, rl33, and rl26 in the 3 test catridges
And those three test cartridges were?????????
Post by: yorketransport on June 24, 2018, 09:14:49 PM
Accuracy was great up to 3400 in the 8 twist with them. Fell off after that. The 8.5 would run a little faster but the bc dropped way off. Even at close range it tanked way below their estimate. The 195 was a little better accuracy at the higher speeds although. Still playing with the hammer and tweaking things a little.
Did you talk to Steve about them dropping off above 3400fps? I saw similar results with the 304gr 338 Hammer Hunter when I pushed to see how fast I could run them in the 338/408 improved. Up to about 3300 they shot great but beyond that things got ugly pretty fast. My theory was that the relatively soft alloy they're using was starting strip in the rifling when they got pushed that hard in a relatively fast twist. Then again, I saw the similar results with the 300gr OTMs in that gun. All the 300 class bullets shoot more accurately and behave better right around 3200fps anyways so that's where I leave it.

Come on Travis, don't be shy, do tell which cartridges you tested these in.
Post by: rbros on June 25, 2018, 08:13:55 AM
I do not do any +p (bore rider) style throats on any of my stuff. Cartridges have been 28 noslers and a couple of bigger wildcats I am working on.

Sorry about that Travis, I thought you had your own version of something similar-ish to Shawn's +P throat design. Thank you for getting me straightened out on that.
Hmmm, "couple of bigger wildcats I am working on" could one of those possibly be something off of the 300 Norma parent case by chance?
With Lapua now making 300 Norma brass and Peterson also making 300 Norma brass, both of which are top quality, that case has become very popular to wildcat off of. :tup:

Nosler themselves have not yet listed a BC for the 185gr .284 RDF.
Their 6.5 and 6mm RDF’s have been increadably accurate in several of my rifles. Especially the 6mm Creedmoor.

Nosler hasn’t released a BC yet. But some people shooting them have thrown some numbers out there on several shooting forums.

I wouldn't be too surprised if they shoot really well. It would be interesting to shoot them out of a 10 twist and an 8 twist and see how the BC changes with a different twist.

Interwebs say that it wont work and your bullets will keyhole :chuckle:

I've come to the conclusion that under stabilized bullets can shoot well, but terminal performance suffers dramatically. That's when I start seeing the "banana bullets" when I recover them. Instead of expanding on impact they start to tumble.

I'm guessing case capacity will be in the high 90's grains of water range on this and I see the use of some slowwwww powders in your future.
Sounds like fun project and I'm curious to hear how those bullets work out for you. I have enough twist to shoot those in my 7mm Blaser Mag, but I won't be able to launch them as fast as you will.

I learned a long time ago with Remington actions, when it comes to wildcat load development. I may have to knock that bolt open. A $40.00 buck bolt handle screw is way less hassle and time down than breaking off a bolt handle.

I have been kicking around the idea of a “Bore Rider” throat.
Bellow is a link to a great read and partial basis for my chamber design. Some really cool videos of terminal performance at distance with the 180gr ELD-M. Terminal Ballistics speeds are conservative the guys at Long Range Hunting are getting quite a bit more velocity from a straight .300 Win Mag case necked down to 7mm.

Worked up from 72.5gr of H1000 to 76gr H1000. I still have room to go higher in charge. 76gr was just the max powder charge I loaded to today.
76gr H1000 160gr Nosler Accubond.
3264 FPS SD-3.6
Not too shabby considering I’m fireforming. I’ll have more case capacity the next go round.

Worked up to 77gr H1000. 3294fps slightly sticky bolt lift. I’ll try the same charge in a formed case, which has more capacity and work up in .2 grain increments.

That's why I love the Savage system, I can put a new bolt handle on there without removing the bolt. It really helps when you break it off while trying to remove a case that's welded to the chamber. :tup:
That came up when loading what turned out to be a bad batch of Accubonds in a 6.5x284. The starting charge weight of H4831 locked up the action so tight we snapped off the bolt handle trying to open it up back at the house.

I have shot dz plus critters with the 143g eldx 6.5stw @ 3200/3250fps. Been very happy with the results from deer/elk/aoudad etc
From 80-450 yards been doing very well.
Some of the bigger critters have gone a few yards but performance is there.

This is a fire forming load.

How does that compare to the 28 Nosler?Gotta be real close to it.
I’ve seen regular 7-300s get pretty close.

How does that compare to the 28 Nosler?
Max for the 28 Nosler with a 160gr bullet in the Nosler book and on their web site is 3293 FPS. Now we know that is being conservative and handloading and non factory throated chambers can get more velocity. Also consider the fact I’m shooting a 28” barrel. Take all into consideration, not too shabby from a .300 Win Mag case.
My fire forming load is 3306 FPS. I have pushed it to 3325 FPS so far with .3 moa at 300 yards.
Once I get all my cases fire formed. I will anneal them, trim them and start raising the powder charge in fire formed cases and see where I end up. I want to throw RL-33 in the mix also.

Have you by chance measured the volume of a formed case yet? Just a guess but I'm thinking you're going to be somewhere around 92gr of water.

I'll be surprised if RL33 or N570 doesn't yield you close to an extra 75-100 fps over H1000.

Just measured the case for water capacity. 93.5gr.

74gr of H1000 behind a 180gr ELD-M got me 3183 fps. I’ll start at 74.5gr tomorrow and work up in 1/2hr increments until I see pressure sighs and see where I end up velocity wise.
I also started working up a load for the Nosler 185gr RDF.
The 185gr RDF has less bearing surface than the 180gr ELD-M. Both bullets with the same powder charge, the 185gr RDF is 30fps faster than the 180gr ELD-M.

These 180 Hornady ELD-M’s are NASTY on game.

That may be the best picture I’ve seen all year! :chuckle:

Ranged the one I wanted at 847 yards. Since my rifle was zeroed at 300 yards, I only had to put 12 moa on my VX5-HD ZL2 turret. No wind to speak of. Bang-Flop! That bullet did just as much damage at 847 as it did on my buck at 409.

Now that you got the eld-m out of your system ya need to run that hammer in a deadblow version.....youl like it....never seen damage like it
I need to have my freebore extended. When I had the reamer done awhile back I had it set up for the 180 Berger’s with .188 freebore. The Hammer bullets are long for weight. I have 155’s and 177’s. Also the ogive is considerably forward on the Hammers as compared to the ELD-M’s. I didn’t have time to have the freebore extended before the season. As soon as the season is over, I will get it reworked and give the Hammers a try. As of now I just have to seat the Hammers too deep.
My current 7.21 Sage chambering has a 35 degree shoulder. I will also be chambering up a barrel soon with my 7.21 Sage Spec II, chambering which has a 40 degree shoulder which is blown forward with a slightly shorter neck.

I then attached the Magnetto Speed and started shooting the 162gr ELD-X’s In Hornady cases. Went over the top at 76gr of H1000. Had slightly sticky bolt lift at 76gr, serious ejector Mark on the case head. Ejected smoothly. Smoking fast!! @ 3377FPS ES- 16.1. I knew I was there already and needed to back off at least half a grain. But I just had to give the 76.5 a go! 😊
You can see the ejector swipe on the case head at 12 O’Clock. But that’s fast!
