I would have went with the Nosler Partition as "the best" but the Accubond will get the job done.I just received 25 bags of blems from SPS.
The 160 AB at 3k+ from the 7mm Rem Mag is the best combo possible.
68.5 grains Reloader 26.
Change my mind.

I'm not going to try and convince you of anything, but will add another opinion. I've been shooting a 169gr Hammer Hunter, but like 2506 my next project is to try the 131gr Hammer Hunter and see what kind of laser beam I end up with.I shoot 140's out of my STW. 3450 FPS. Great long range performance for my needs.
The 160 has a better BC. If you're shooting over 600 yards I would think BC would matter.I shoot 140's out of my STW. 3450 FPS. Great long range performance for my needs.
It's no secret I'm a Tikka homer. Here's a write up from my experience with a used T3 Lite Stainless:do you think your tikkas make a difference!?!? I do like that bullet…..
Will you need a faster twist with the 131gr Hammers in that 25-06?I'm not going to try and convince you of anything, but will add another opinion. I've been shooting a 169gr Hammer Hunter, but like 2506 my next project is to try the 131gr Hammer Hunter and see what kind of laser beam I end up with.
I was referring to the member named 2506 who above talked about shooting a 140gr bullet from his 7mm STW at 3450 fps. I'm talking about a similar exercise of shooting a 131gr bullet in my 7RM at high velocity.Will you need a faster twist with the 131gr Hammers in that 25-06?
Oops my bad I see it now.I was referring to the member named 2506 who above talked about shooting a 140gr bullet from his 7mm STW at 2450 fps. I'm talking about a similar exercise of shooting a 131gr bullet in my 7RM at high velocity.
My 7RM is a 1:8 twist, but not necessary for the 131.
I don't load for a .257 caliber, but I've been loading Hammer Bullets for a 2-3 years now. 6CM, 7mm-08, 7RM and 338-06. They're worth a try. I've been really impressed.I shoot s 2506 and recently found Hammer bullets make one at 130gr which is uncommon for the caliber and got excited someone might be trying that....
Heard nothing but good about them, but their 130gr in 2506 requires a faster twist than mine.I don't load for a .257 caliber, but I've been loading Hammer Bullets for a 2-3 years now. 6CM, 7mm-08, 7RM and 338-06. They're worth a try. I've been really impressed.
