300yds is all I need it for. In my lifetime of hunting my longest shot was 330yds on an elk. I guess I’m a FUD, but I always prided myself on getting close with a one shot kill.

To me the most amazing thing about the Ham'r is the lack of recoil. I remember shooting a steel butt plate 30-30 in my youth and getting whacked pretty good if I got lazy and didn't snug it up to my shoulder. Of course having a slip on KICK-EEZ recoil pad doesn't hurt. I also like to ability to use pointy high BC bullets so I don't have to worry about where to aim at the distances I normally shoot.

Those guys who have built or converted a bolt...what AICS patterned magazines work the best? I got my reamer a week or so ago and go gauge came Friday so getting close to spinning this thing up.

If you plan on converting a Ruger Ranch Rifle, the Lancer 300 BO magazines work great. My Kimber does not use a separate removable mag. Since those are my only two bolt guns for the HAM'R that is the only advice I can offer.

Thanks Gc...not a Ruger, looking like it's going to be a Zermatt TL3 in a KRG Bravo chassis.

Looks like another beauty 😍

Like how the bottom mushrooms 🍄 flying blender petals awesome hunting design

Does it waste a lot of meat? I prefer bullets where you can "eat right up to the hole" rather than have to throw away a lot of bloodshot meat.

I forgot what we were talking about.

Someone needed to say it

It sounds like an interesting project. Barrel? Keep us updated on your results.

I'm in South Africa hunting and have mostly been using one of our new NULA M20 bolt guns in .358 Win. shooting a 200gr Controlled Chaos, but I have got to use the HAM'R on these 4 Warthogs. I'm shooting the new 112gr Tipped Xtreme Chaos at 2600fps MV. One was DRT, two ran 5yds or so and one ran 30yds..

Slow internet here, it looks like only 2 photos came through? Here's the other two.

Great Pictures!

Nice Bill, trip of a lifetime!

Awesome! Nice piggies and teef.

My wife Joyce took this very nice black Impala with the new Lehigh Defense 112gr Tipped Xtreme Chaos (2600fps MV) from 70yds

Looks like it did its job. Nice shot placement as well.

Beautiful animal.

I have recently been visiting the Hodgdon site alot for load data and waiting for the weather to cool down. guess what I caliber is now being listed? 300 ham'r.
this may be the impetus for me to start loading for this caliber too.

Congrats to You & your Wife Mr Wilson!

The Ham'r has been listed for a while but in my opinion their data is useless as their max load is more like a starting load. I would recommend using the Wilson Combat data to get the most out of this round.

Agree 100%.

You have to love how Bill Wilson does his "product testing!!!!"

Congrats Bill...looks and sounds like an awesome trip!

Final kill from the trip with the 300 HAM'R, 65yd impact, DRT
