yes the Hammer bullets do shoot more accurate , i am still trying to get the most consistent accurate powder IMR 4350 seems good ,RL.17 not as consistent in this rifle i will try some H414 yet . was very calm early this Sunday but now windy again.


turns out H414 is the best powder for this rifle`s cartridge combo with 160 gr. Hammer bullets . shoot 3/4 inch and under 3shot groups at 100 yards its a hunting rifle so 5 shot groups mean little to me, i have target rifles for the best groups at 5 shots. Pete53
