Share Your Hammer Loads

Looks like I lied to you my friend. Took me a while to dig out my load data. Guess it was longer ago than I remember. It wasn't Hybrid100 or N550 although I tested them both. What I got to 3520 with was superformance. 76 grains with a barnes 150 ttsx and a 215m primer. Nothing in my notes but knowing me I'm betting the load is just south of pressure so sneak up on it please :)

I need to run RL17 which prob will do the job but just don't care for its temp craziness.
