I buy them. Used to by Montana Bullet Works but they had some tragedy and now I’ve been getting them from Mikes bullets out of Missouri I believe or maybe Arkansas. Haven’t shot any yet but on good reports they’re great.
I was going to type out a response but Jorey’s was spot on. I’m another user of slow powders in the 25-06, H1000, 7828, rl25 and 26, Retumbo.
I wouldn’t sweat the numbers either myself. Look for good consistent accurate loads and the numbers will fall in place. Also, with H1000 I seem to have...
I have had my COAX since about 2006 or so. Somewhere in there, and like if a lot Don. It’s really nice not having to mess with shellholders and it is also nice not spinning dies in and out. Once my dies are set, they slide in and out at exactly the same spot as the time before.
I don’t know...
I have always wanted one of them myself and I remember through the years you have had a few of them. Pretty big medicine for stuff at sane ranges. The Hammers shoot real well and like you said, they’re fast as heck.
Looking forward to seeing how you make out.

Anybody that says a 243, 7-08, 308, 30-06, etc pounds deer like a Whelen or similar hasn’t shot enough. While they aren’t needed to take deer, the Whelen and similar seems to wallop them mighty hard.
The 7600 I got from you years ago now still hunts and makes meat fairly often when I just have to get on a buck. I have a smaller 7600 carbine for long walk days but the Whelen is just a great cartridge.
This poor buck was an 8pt before the Whelen got him :ROFLMAO:
He just decided...
Scope is my first inclination. Mounts next, and then stock screws. It’s mechanical. Unless the barrel is bent it’d be hard to believe it’s the load if it shot decent in the past. I’d be hard pressed to think the propellant is bad.
