    250 savage with 81gr hammers and 35gr of imr 4895.
    looks like they're doing 3240 fps but I only crony'd one I'll try
    a few more and see how they group. Bloody expensive bullets to shoot targets with.

    What twist do you have? Hammers seem to need fast twists.

    Charles Newton would be proud of you, keeping his 110 year old favourite going at speeds that would worry 243 owners. A man ahead of his time
