No doubt on the price of those ABs! I cringe buying boxes of them.

Hunter power works pretty dang good. I use it in my 30-06 with 208 amaxs 24" barrel. Getting 2710 fps with CCI 250 mag primer. Very nice metering too.

dogcatcher,
Hunter works great in any application where something between the 4350's and H4381 would work well. In many cartridge/bullet combinations it's comparable to RL-19.
Aside from the results some have alreaded mentioned in the .243, in the 6.5x55 it's great with bullets in the 120-grain range, and in the .280 AI with 140-150's. I've also had good results with 225-250 grain bullets in the .338 Winchester.

Good catch Trailrider. I use a Magnum primer with ball powders like Ramshot Hunter. Buckfever1

I have a 6.5x55, 280AI, 338Win mag, and 243. Hunter & 210 Partitions is my hunting load in the .338 Win Mag. I also use H-4350 but Hunter gives better velocities.
PASS IT ON!

Thanks for all the feedback. Excited to try it. I used to run W760 in some loads, but it got goofy in the heat of summer.

Hunter and 225gr Partitions yield fabulous results in my 338WM.

Love it for 115 dtacs in the .243 as well as 110TTSX/110vmax in the .270. Im sold on the metering alone but it burns super clean as well.

Cannot really comment on cold weather but the load was worked up in 70 degrees and did not show pressure signs of significant increases at about 100 degrees. Average velocity was right where it should have been and no overt signs of pressure.

I've had great results w/ 30-06, 257 AI, and 6mm-250.
In the latter I'm getting high-243 Win numbers w/ great case life and fantastic accuracy from 90 gr Speers & NBTs. In the former, my best numbers from 165s w/ ok accuracy (1.5 MOA).
I love the stuff!
Ps- I'm working on loads for my boys' 243, too...

Mule Deer what powder weight are you using in the 6.5x55 you mentioned using Hunter and a 120 grain bullet and FPS? Is a Balistic tip enough bullet for the 6.5x55 and big Whitetails? Sure like this caliber. Thanks Buckfever1

I really like it, and any other Ramshot powder when applicable.

It's worked well for me in a 7x57 Mauser with 120 and 140 Ballistic Tips.
