Oh boy am I excited!!! 
.277 Easter Eggs?
- Thread starter hand skills
- Start date
.277 Cal-151gr Hammer HHT™ - Hammer Bullets
This will be a great mid weight option for the 27 cal fast twist rifles. Designed for a 1-8.5" twist or faster barrel, this pure copper Hammer HHT™ will be a great performer on any big game animals from up close and personal to long range.

R U Kidding me! Heck yeah! So will this prove out the cartridge efficiency thread? We will see! PERFECT!
So what's the top end velocity guess out of the infamous "Skinny Ugly" AKA .270 Thors Hammer?
Me? 3350 is distinct possibility!

I was wondering how long till you caught on
You Slovakian
Don’t worry I was a mushroom also on this one as I heard nothing till I went a searching prior to my post from the sleuths investigation skills
On velocity mmmm
3 different time zones to get it together
277 for the caliber
Is
3277plus the weight as that was
151 days overdue
Equals

That should be on the money

It’s a shame they put that much effort into designing a .277 projectile.
Lol, yes I put an angy face. Haha. Nothing personal, just happen to like the .277 diameter!

If so, it makes me question my 3373 fps number from my 270 WSM using 122gr HHt over RL16....I must be leaving fps on the table......277 Cal-151gr Hammer HHT™ - Hammer Bullets

Not a bunch. You might be able to eek out another 100 fps. Depends on the gun. Some are faster or slower. I would be hoping for 3450-3500 fps. Assuming your load shoots great, I don't know that it is worth chasing. I guess you can always go back to the old load.

Thank you Steve. What powder(s) would you recommend?
Current load gave me this 0.4" group that I plotted using calipers:
If you have StaBALL 6.5 I would give that a go. Start at 66gr and work up from there. Otherwise I think anything in the 4350 burn range would be good.
