I also looked at a via Aus route, but nah.

Yep with wholesale margins you are basically left with around 8% margin give or take by the time GST is taken into account, when I looked into it

Could increase that with freight breaks but unfortunately no where near enough to even consider it in a commercial sense especially considering they would be pretty expensive compared to other projectiles

Once you use them you don't even consider the cost of them but until then they are a very niche product

what chrono you using?you sure it doesn't need calibrating?the speeds you get are amazing/unbelievable.

These monos are renowned fast

Not the rifle in the thread, its a 308 Springfield Waypoint but that shows how I shoot the rifles, off a bipod & rear bag on a concrete benchrest

The Absolute Hammers are generally faster than the HHT's, but the BC is lower

This rifle will easily hit over 3000 fps with the 180's but the accuracy isn't as good & i prefer copper projectiles for hunting

unreal.what's the secret?is it brass?I take it your using RL26?your getting speeds out of the 6.5 prc case that a 7 prc will be hitting pressure around with the same projectile yeah?

Brass & barrel length, yes RL26, the 7 PRC is 1/4" longer and the 7-6.5 can't compete for capacity but makes up for it & efficiency, like for like the 7PRC will be faster, accuracy .....who knows ?

I’d buy them off you at any price, bloody unreal those projectiles!

Almost* any price…

Don't think Greg will mind:

Hammers. My experience on deer

223 52 grn HH sent fast are amazing for their size. Great on fallow.

223 60 grn HH at 3280fps very good but not as good as 73 to 80 grn ELDM/Targex/Sierra Tipped.

223 68 grn HH Tipped. 3,000fps. Great potential but have only shot goats. Will use on deer though. Think they will be the real deal.

260 and 6.5 PRC 124 HH @ 2850/3000, fantastic

270WSM and 117grn at 3,500fps, extraordinary

I have shot many many Deer, quite a few goats & some pigs with the 69 AH at 3900+ fps out of my 6 CM thermal rifle, from 10 to 380 yards

Absolutely fantastic performance, second to none IMHO, no recoil, laser beam

Looking forward to trying out the 75 HHT's in my 6 CM imp at 4000 + fps

I’m keen to try some of the 199gr HH pills in my 300 prc. Ballistacally should match or outdo the 212eldx to 700y or so and I can’t imagine anything surviving one of those
