Reloading / Re: 257 and Hammer Hunters

Thanks for the feedback.  There is no doubt in my mind the rifle and hammers exceed our shooting abilities.  With my 280 Remington and 120 hammers I get around 3/4” at 200.  I am hoping for something similar or better with this 257.  We’ll try some 4831.

Reloading / 257 and Hammer Hunters
« on: November 12, 2022, 06:09:14 AM »
My son has a a vanguard in 257 topped with a leupold vx3.  The rifle shoots factory ammo well, 2” groups at 200 yards.

We have been fooling around hand loading 92 grain hammer hunters.  We  started off with IMR 4350 (69.7 grains) and standard Remington primers because that is what I had in house.  It shoots ok, 2.5” at 200 yards, and would be sufficient for deer hunting where we hunt and our usual shot distances.  However we can do better.

We acquired some H1000 and CCI mag primers to work with.  So far we have just burned powder, no good luck. Any of you using H1000 with 92 grain hammer hunters?  What works for you?

Thanks
