    Sample packs?

    I shoot a one shot one charge ladder. Depending on the size of the cartridge .5g to 1g increments. I aim them all at the same spot to watch the target. Mostly looking to find pressure. Usually can find pressure in half a dozen shots or so and back off accordingly. Then load several there to...

    I personally don't often crimp. Sometimes if the rifle tells us to we will crimp. Have never seen a down side to crimping though.

    The guys at Wby are pretty exited about that RPM load.

    Our first run with the 6.5 RPM we couldn't get the velocity that we thought we should. That brass was made by Hornady, I believe. Peterson is now making Wby brass. We got some but haven't had a chance to work with it yet. We felt like the first go the brass was the weak link. My last load...

    Hard to fix what isn't broke. Added terminal performance is a plus. I really can't go into depth here as I am not a sponsor.

    In working with Wby we designed bullets to their dimensions and weights that they wanted for the given cartridge. So many of the Hammers for Wby are exclusive for them.

    Speed is under rated. Roy had it right, there Just wasn't many bullets that could handle the speed.

    I never try to make a rifle like my choice of powder. If it doesn't look good right of the bat, I switch powder.

    Jacketed bullets will have a hard time holding together with too much twist. Also too fast a twist does have one draw back that it will add a bit more torque to the rifle recoil. As a general rule with bullets like the Hammers there is no down side to faster twist. When the vast majority of...

    It will most likely have difficulty stabilizing. You quite possibly will shoot oblong holes. The min recommended twist rates are truly min. Particularly with the long for caliber bullets. Higher stability aids in terminal performance as well. I like my hunting rigs running closer to 2.0 sg...

    It should be good. As always confirm your drops. Bc varies from rifle to rifle.
