Thank you, Sir!

Lee FCD buddy! Hammers love a crimp. Bottom target no crimp, next up 1/8 turn crimp, next up 1/4 turn and top target still 1/4 but moved poi.

I second this! Noslers lack of production the last couple of years is what led me to Hammers.

I'm a member on only 2 forums, this one and the Hammer forum, both great forums with considerate, helpful members on both. The beauty of these 2 forums is we talk about all bullets on both forums.

Don't give up, Scotty ! With my 280 Rem and 140g Absolute Hammers it took me 3 different powders and increasing the crimp, until I found an accurate load. Unlike my 25-06 and 22-250 both with AH's, I found accuracy right away.

Yes PacNor does. They did my model 70 a few years ago and did an excellent job.

What is the twist on your barrel? Nice looking rifle btw.

Very nice, what a great idea.

Got it, thanks for the explanation Noah!

I know what a 280ai case is, so the 25 Sherman is a 280ai case necked down to 25 caliber? What is the 25 Sherman Short parent case?

Nice! So what cartridge is your 25 Sherman based off of? I see your case says 280ai but when I looked up 25 Sherman it shows the 25 SST or Sherman Short Tac.

When I started working up my Hammer load I tried both WLRM and CCI LR, there was very little difference in velocity and at the time I had more mag primers so I continued with them.

I've used both magnum and std primers with Hammer bullets, it's varied on which worked best. I believe I have tried both with my 280 Rem, I'll check my notes when I get home this afternoon and let you know.

Praying for you and yours 🙏

I guess I've been lucky, my 25-06 loves the 90g AH's, I also tried the 95g tipped Hammers and the Absolute were more accurate. My 22-250 shoots the 63g AHs in bug hole groups as well. I haven't tried them in my 300wsm yet, I have an excellent load with 180g Accubonds.

I agree! I did the same thing with 90g Absolute in my 25-06, got almost 200 fps more with RL26 than any other powder and a perfect case fill.

Great idea!

Very good! You got good accuracy and velocity! I loaded 140g AHs in my 280 Rem, started with StaBall 6.5 and got pressure real early, then tried RL17, got good velocity, just under 3200 fps but never could get the accuracy. Last I tried IMR4350 excellent accuracy at an average of 3116 fps...

Boy that's a long barrel🤣

The wood on those Ruger no.1's is beautiful. My 1st rifle about 55 years ago was a m94 in 25-35, wish I still had it.
