Hey there Uncle Memt, I have shot wads of them when I was living in Texas out of that old 1917 Enfield Sporter. I have only shot Barnes TSX & TTSX 165s from the last two 300 WSMs I've loaded for, and they were wicked for my friend on elk, Red Deer, etc. What I love about Hammers over Barnes, Memt , is seating depth is a non issue with them! Near, far, they don't seem to care, ha. I have to load pretty short on this new to me Kimber. Meanwhile, my very favorite rifle, the Mark V ULWT A-Square is being reamed to the 338/06 Ackley Improved, which is a good looking round to me, and plenty fast enough for how I hunt. I have smaller rounds, but 338 and up are serious elk medicine, Amen? smile And there is an Aussie who has used that 154 HHT on alot of game of all size down-under in his WSM. Swears by them.
