    Hammer Absolute

    Yes, the 131 HH works well. 3415 fps w/ RL23. I’m down to just under 1/2 lb of that powder so I’ve been considering working up another load with something more readily available. Or available at all…

    Chamber Empty or Loaded

    I carry my rifle with an empty chamber. I could see the benefits of carrying loaded if someone hunted in heavily timbered/brushy areas and needed a quick shot but those aren't generally places that I hunt. I can't remember a time when I missed an opportunity because I had the extra step of...

    Annual elk rifle thread

    My do-everything gun this year was a semi-custom 6.5-284, leupold vx5 3-15, Lane suppressor, shooting a 124 Hammer Hunter at 3070fps. My wife and I both shot antelope with it and my 11 yr old son shot his first deer with it. Unfortunately, I only had one day to get out after elk and didn’t...

    Antelope...Lets See Them!!!

    My wife’s first antelope. The boys watched from a couple hundred yards away while she made a 50 yard crawl with me to get into position. She made a perfect 220 yard shot, drt.

    Montana mule deer rant

    I spent 2 days in the Broadus area looking for antelope. I saw a couple of mulie does & fawns on the side of the road in the dark but I didn’t see one mule deer while out hunting. I probably covered 15-20 miles walking/glassing.

    Mystery Ranch Pack - Awesome and AWESOME Customer Service!

    Mine developed a squeak last year when under load. I was going though Bozeman so I stopped at their offices and gave it to them. They did the warranty service and mailed it back to me (for free, if I remember right) and its been great since then. I would call them before you do anything else to...

    Speed Kills

    Magnum, which I use for just about everything. Maybe I'll go back and check with 200s. While I would like to have the extra velocity, if the ballistics work out well I might just stick with it the way it is.

    Speed Kills

    Hmm, I was thinking Varget would be too fast but I’ve never used it before. Any ideas on how it compares to N540? I’m only using 48 grains of that and I hit pressure at 49. I was thinking that was a little too fast.

    Speed Kills

    So far I’ve tried RL23, IMR 4350, H4831sc and N540. Worked up to a case full of RL23 and got to 3050fps with no pressure but terrible grouping. H4831sc was way too slow. Worked up IMR 4350 to 53.5gr and hit pressure with 3025fps and 1 MOA. For this hunting season I settled on N540, which is...

    Speed Kills

    I developed a load for my 6.5-284 with the 129 Absolutes. I’m using a very light crimp. Not getting the velocity I was hoping for(2975fps, 21” barrel) but I do like the accuracy. I’ve taken a moose and a couple antelope with Hammers and they’ve worked as advertised. Shot this group the other...

    Tell Me which 22LR rifle to buy

    I have a Ruger Precision Rimfire. With the right ammo it shoots tiny groups, plus the stock is adjustable so my boys can shoot it comfortably, too.
