The new heavy hitter. I just received the barrel action yesterday and pillar bedded and free floated to the stock. 8 mm Remington Magnum with fast 1 to 9 twist pac nor Ultra match fluted Barrel. Timney trigger and the whole thing cerakoted in sniper Gray. Loaded up some 200 grain accubonds...
Don't forget the 127 Barnes lrx that thing is a killer in my 6.5 RPM and 6.5 * 300 Weatherby. Brian Lytz retested it and he came up with a .500 BC..... that is kind of comical because it's one of the few bullets where the manufacturer has it lower than it actually is as far as BC is concerned
I agree that Hammers are indeed very good in what they were designed to do. Much better than barnes in the smaller calibers. I just can't see eventually paying $130.00 for 50 bullets that are listed for 100.00. And the 130 is before tax insurance and shipping
I have read before like I said that there's something special about their copper and they had to use almost tons of it until they actually got to the point where it will expand all the way down to like 13 1400 ft per second and be accurate as it is
I wonder if the e-tip will be affected. So far Barnes has not listed anything in this regard. That said I do know that hammer uses a specific type of copper that's got to be imported and for a lack of better terms as I understand it it's super purified to get consistent results I don't know...
So I put a bunch of bullets in my cart at Hammer bullets website. I am ready to check out after shipping and handling and all that good stuff and I look at my price and I'm a little bit shocked. I guess now they have to include this
raw material copper tariff surcharge 15%
To say that I'm...
That's a very good load also be advised that the sper 350 was originally made for the big magnums so don't expect too much expansion once the velocity decreases
Actually my friend is having the exact same issue and he's using 158 grain bullets still somewhere between 25 to 100 ft per second difference we have used leaf Factory crimp dye wedding dies RCBS dies same difference
I am having a hell of a time getting my 357's getting a good SD.
Specifically with the 125 grain bullets (XTP's). I have tries VH N110, H110/W296, Lilgun etc. Variation of over 100 fps from bullet to bullet sometimes. It is not the cylinders either.
I have tried different primers but no joy...
