Hey Hammerheads, Just wanted to post up some preliminary pressure ladder results for the 125HHT in the 6.5 PRC. I know this is a popular caliber here, and I don’t know that I’ve seen these powders talked about for it. I will post pictures of each group below the powder charge & test results. On...

@Grizz19 sent me this picture. His dad shot a hog the other day with the 95HHT out of his .257 Roberts going mid 3200 fps. Only went 50 yards. 200+ pound pig. It was quartering to him and destroyed both lungs and exited out the guts. Roughly 100 yard shot.

Just having fun and making conversation here. Curious who prefers single stage triggers, and who prefers two stage triggers? If it’s easy to explain, why do you prefer whatever option? I have most experience with single stage, but have a couple two stage triggers, and am considering switching...

Saw recently on an update from the Arkansas Game & Fish Commission that they are considering adding the use of straight wall centerfire cartridges during our muzzleloader season here. Just thought I’d like to hear you guys chime in with your two cents. I know many states are banning scopes, red...

To Steve, Brian, and all the Hammer Time members, Many of you saw the thread I started yesterday morning. I need to apologize. I thoroughly messed up. In trying to be funny, I offended many of the members. It was my bad. In trying to make a joke, I posted a picture of a religious group in...

Just curious if any of you other 708 fanboys know the H2O capacity of Starline brass? Currently running Nosler, and love it. But Starline is obviously cheaper. Curious what your experience has been with Starline. My Nosler 708 brass has H2O capacity of about 56 grains, which is significantly...

There’s been a discussion about annealing. I know a couple guys here are interested in the Ugly Annealer and may want some more info. I’m not a dealer or paid, just trying to get info to those who are interested. I was in search for an annealer awhile back. Through research, the two most...

Just ordered some primers online. Ended up calling and talking to the owner of Republic Ammunition. He has Fiocchi, Federal, and Ginex large rifle primers in stock. He also has #34 primers as well. He’s very knowledgeable. Says Ginex primers have shown to be extremely consistent. They are a tad...

Was able to make it to the range this morning. I worked up some loads for my rebarreled Tikka 7mm-08. I would like some input from you guys as to next steps. Factory 22” barrel Nosler unfired brass CCI250 primers Hodgdon Benchmark powder Loaded to last PDR groove - 2.75” COAL Chronograph -...

I thought I would make a post here for the fun of it. This will be elementary info for many, but I know that I enjoy reading what others are doing, even if I already know the process. So hopefully you enjoy it too! I’ll start by saying that this rifle build is being done as a secondary...

Has anyone on here ever purchased from Shyda’s Outdoor Center? They look legit, but trying to double check. It wasn’t listed in the reputable seller thread.

Trying to get input from some as to the best powders for the 7mm-08 with the 118 HHT. I know some here have had really good success with Benchmark. I’m getting a pound of that. Looking through a reloading manual, it showed that with a 120 gr bullet that CFE223 would push it roughly 175 fps...

Hey guys, Maybe this belongs in the rifle forum, but I thought maybe it was more reloading related. Trying to swap my Tikka over to a 7mm-08 for a heavy hitting varmint and backup hunting rifle. Standard barrel length is 22”. I can get my hands on a 20” right now. For those who have experience...

Needing some clarification and guidance from loaders who load using a body die and a neck sizing due. A phone call would be easiest for me. Thanks!

Hey guys, I’m sure everyone probably already has a really good reloading bench. However, I didn’t until this week. Harbor Freight is running the Yukon 60” work bench on sale right now for $139. 60” wide, 20” deep. Three drawers and a shelf. I know there are a lot better benches out there, but...

Hey guys, been a member for a few months, but hoping to be more active on here now. I’ve got a custom 7 PRC that I will be loading for, as well as my cousin’s Tikka 6.5 PRC. I have a first world problem lol. Hammer has too many good options, so now I have paralysis by analysis and can’t...

Took my first muley buck this morning.

Hey guys, New to the forum. I’m looking for input for a load for my .300 Blk AR15. I’m looking to use this load for whitetails mainly. Here’s what I would want if I can have my cake and eat it too: I’m looking for easy 200 yard and closer capability. It’s my short range deer gun. Your thoughts...

Hey guys, I’m new to this forum. I’m here to learn and ask questions. The two main rifles I’m here to get bullet and load info about are my .300 Blk AR-15, and my recently self-built custom 7 PRC. Thanks for a clean and wholesome forum.
