Pretty much all I am using lately. Hammers and LRX's. The hammers provide super accuracy, awesome on game performance, phenomenal availability. The only down side is cost, but you get what you pay for. Practice with ordinary bullets and hunt with them.
I will gravitate towards the 107 Tipped hammers. BC .510 at 3400-3500 fps.
They will load:
92 gr Hammer
107 Tipped Hammer
117 SST
115 Barnes LRX--not officially released yet
and 133 Berger
I did some playing on quickload last night. I "necked down" the 6.5 RPM to 257 cal with a 1:7 twist. At 62K PSI I was able to "produce" loads with the 134 ELDM in the 3250 fps range.
Anyway we will know in about 30 minutes or so.
I hope not. My badlands lightweight in 240 Bee has a 1:7.5 twist and it shoots the heavies great! Redundant to my needs.
Did I just say needs pertaining to a new rifle? What is wrong with me?
These were purchased a few months ago. They are brand new in box and they were never used. I took them out of the box to take the picture. They are listing for $559 before tax and shipping just about everywhere I'm asking $450 OBO ...all types of payments accepted please PM me.
To be released tomorrow 1/7/26. So let's try to guess what it is.
My first guess is 25 RPM but with a 1:7 twist for the 134 ELDM, 128 ELDX and 135 Berger. This is what makes sense to me.
My second guess would be the 7mm RPM again, with a fast 1:8 twist. This would be pretty much a 7mm Rem...
