after watching some of the wilson vids, it appears he felt the real advantage to the hamr was using the same bolt and mag as the 5.56. yea.. it functions better with actual blackout mags, but you get the idea. if you are considering converting a 223 to a blkout, 6.5 or 6.8, then a hamr barrel is worth looking into. if you're buying a new rifle bigger than a 223 for medium sized game, it's still worth a look. if you already have a 6.whatever, you may not justify a hamr.. if people still do that smile

i still have a 6.8 that i shot a few hogs with over the last two to three years. i was handloading 130s in the hamr quite a bit faster than i was able to load 120s in the 6.8. i think i've settled on 125gr tnt. here are a few lucky shots with them...
