Greycard, yes the deer was taken with my 300 Ham'r. 135g Hamr Bonded. It worked well entering at 30 cal and the exit wound was a bit over a half inch. The deer went about 10 yards and dropped. Range was about 50 yards.

just saw the news that Wilson Combat bought Lehigh Defense... I guess Bill has found a way to ensure supply of bullets for the 300HAMR!

I'm working up a load for the 135 grain bullets and should have a chance to hit my range today. I've been using the 130's for my hunting so far, but if something is available I want to give it a try. Like any reloader, give me a 3/4 inch group and I'll want to drop it down to 1/2" groups. I know there are many who choose the 150's but I like the mass/velocity range of the 125's to 135's bullets.


I think this is a good move for Wilson Combat. It should be ideal for the 300 HAM'R but will also help his supply across the board to the other cartridges WC supplies.

Right now, I'm just waiting for the return of that magical day where a reloader can just order 500 to 1,000 of any bullet he wants to try.

Just ordered two 300 Ham’r Complete Uppers
For my Troy “Other” (Brace) 11.3 bbl with pinned Q-Comp, 10.4 rail, Sniper Veil Camo FDE paint.
For Rebel Arms AR 16.25 bbl 1-15 twist, Q-Comp pinned, Gray Camo.
Was originally going to go lightweight but wanted forward assist (you have to go forged) so went forged on both.
Also ordered rail covers and bulk 110 & 135 FTX Ammo.

Thanks again Bryan, Bill, & Members here for all help, guidance, & suggestions. Shout out to Alan at WC for sales assistance.

HAM’R OPTIC

Hello Gang,
Finally have an opportunity to add furniture to my new WC HAM’Rs. Would appreciate recommendations for optics. Looking for Red Dot/LPVO - CQB that can also be used for hog hunting, NV, but not taking up a lot of real estate. Don’t know if such an animal exists. Especially in 3K or less range. Thanks in advance.
Happy New Year
Tom

Some don't like them but the Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6 and 1-8 LPVO are a good inexpensive alternative. I have 1-6 on my 11" Ham'r and really like it

I would like to know which powders has been eliminated by WC. I am having some challenges with CFEBLK (flyers) and would like to look at some of the other powders I have but would like to understand what has been tested to date that will not work.

What is a "flier" to you?

With the amount of people producing sub 1" groups at 100+ yards with various recommended projectiles pushed by CFEBLK I'd speculate the trouble in your equation isn't likely the powder.

None of these loads are going to be bench rest recipes using hunting projectiles.

^ The "Benchrest" I was referring to are the guys that don't place in the top 25 if they shoot larger than .25moa groups.

Outside of the 135ftx that I never really played with dialing in I believe every single load I've ever stuffed for HAM'R will shoot under 1.25" at 100yds

I've stumbled on some real odd ducks across the internet who are playing with HAM'R for different purposes. I brought up the bullet quality control aspect in case the poster with "fliers" was one of the fellas trying to use this for PRC Lite or gas gun class etc.

Quick question,
I saw earlier that there was a difference in performance between different lots of CFE BLK. I picked up 5lbs earlier today and saw they where marked 17. Any idea how that will perform compared to the earlier mentioned lots?

Rather than sift thru all 88 pages can someone remind me how to tell the lot number on an 8lb keg of CFEBLK?

Funny you should mention bullet quality control. I've run into several flavors of bullets recently where it seemed they were going for quantity over quality. For my "very special use" loads I normally separated them by weight then look for overall length after seating and then bullet runout. Some bullets I've found vary as much as 5 grains between the lightest and heaviest.
