Thinking about developing a 140 for a 24" 1:95 twist & Rem Mag...before I call Steve thought I'd sound the board. It's a Ruger 1 . . .

Let me know what you find. Currently using 143s with h1000 in my 7RM. Pretty damn happy with it.

Working up 131HH loads for 1:9.5 7mmRM 26" right now. If only I could get some RL23... Some have gotten to 3400fps with this combo. I'm still "e-scouting" recipes for what powder I do have on hand. Looks like plan b is H414/W760
Also doing 121HH for my 264WM. Ready for ladder tests with RL26
Squirrel - It turned into a stock swap and rebed project.

I don't have anything to add about the Absolute.
But in my 8mmRM I'm getting one-inch groups at 200 yards and with RL 26 I get 3200 fps with a 198 Shock Hammer.

Are you on the Hammer Time forums Ken? Here is someone's workup using IMR 4381. Use caution, YMMV......

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…

Found some scalpers out there on other forums pushing 8# of RL23 for almost $400. I'm at the point where I might pay it next time I see it.

Thought I found RL23 at a seller called GunRangeStore.com - Don't got there. They have numerous scam alert flags.
At this point, if any store says they have it, they are lying.

I'd go down to the 130 grainer if you wanna use an Absolute. Your twist rate is a little more adequate for that'n. Not saying you'd be completely unstable, just less than optimal.
In my 280AI I used the 131HH and got it around 3250. I'm sure you could push it even faster.

Oh cool. Just seeing those now that you mentioned them.
What do you know about them? Looks like the tipped projectiles have much wider PDR bands. Do they engage the rifling more like a hunter or an absolute? I’m assuming hunter since the description doesn’t have the caveats of the absolute.
They’re called the HHT… most likely Hammer Hunter Tipped

For? The HHT? Gonna be hard, they were just released on Friday.
Go to the Hammer site. The bullets have been undergoing testing for over a year. If you found HT, I bet you can find the Hammer site. mtmuley

Have the .284 131g Hunters in hand. Decided not to tinker Absolutes.
