Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles reloading hammer bullets

Hello

Does anyone have any loading data for 181 gr hammer bullet in .308

I will be using this in my Thompson venture (300WM)

Steve from Hammer told me that they have found the Nosler reloading data to work well for their Hammer bullets. Obviously, you need to use the data for a bullet of the same weight.

Apparently, the Hammer copper bullets do not generate any more pressure than the standard cup & core Nosler bullets. I have followed his advice and find that when using the Nosler data for Hammer bullets you get (essentially) the same velocity. I have not experienced any pressure issues when using the data this way.

FWIW - the 181 Hammer bullets shoot exceptionally well with IMR7977 in my 30 Nosler.
