too bad there is no data for reloading 300 Ham'r with heavy projectiles. if not I would trade my 300BLK for Ham'r

Dave is that forward stalk “V” in your shooting mount padded??

What if you lower your load of the 107 grains grendel to the same 2600 +/- fps you're getting with the 120 grains spear ?

At those speeds, the 300 will hit a little harder, but the Grendel will carry the speed and accuracy down range a good step farther. So, the question is, what's the job? Long range performance or shirt range? Great videos, Dave. Now I told my wife I need a 300 hammer...ya she laughed, and laughed and laughed some more.

Great video Dave

If .300hamr was as popular as .300blk I would have gone that route. But alas, .300blk just caught on

Dave, Im glad you explained the difference between apples and oranges lol. Dont you just hate it when your rifle makes you out to be wrong. Great Shooting Dave . I like the shirt.

I'd like to see some velocity and accuracy comparisons using hammer bullets. Love the content thanks for the videos

Meanwhile, back in the safe, your 25-06 is complaining to your 300 Roy, "aww...he never takes us anywhere anymore. " 😅 thanks, Dave!

Is the 300 hamr not basically a 300 blackout

He's back! woo!

Dave. Good video and shooting. Three great groups. Thanks for sharing the performance of the two guns. Take care.

All these ammo companies are trying to recreate the wheel. 223/5.56, 243, 308/30-06, 300 win mag, and 375 H&H does it all.

Hey Dave, you and I have traveled the same road, I’m just somewhat ahead of you! I built my 1st AR with a 24” 6.5 Grendel. I found that I couldn’t duplicate the performance of the factory loaded 123 SST load. Extremely accurate and on paper ballistically formidably. I was so disappointed on its performance on deer in the field I moved away from it because for almost the same weight I could have a 6.5 Creedmoor and gain significant performance. I had been used to hunting with both the 25-06 and 308. I was looking for that level of performance. I built an AR-10 with a stupid expensive carbon fiber barrel. The 6.5 CM was one of the most accurate guns I’ve ever owned and building a AR-10 was not an experience I would recommend. That said I got it done, running like a sewing machine and took it out in the field. It ain’t no 308 or 25-06!!!! But because I had so much time and effort in it I kept giving it more chances. Ultimately it never delivered what I was looking for. I was fortunate to get my money out of it and turned to the Hamr. It’s shorter, lighter, handier, and inside of 250 yards more than enough for hogs and deer. It’s still no 308 or 25-06 but it’s close enough for this old man who hunts at under 250 yards it’s my first choice. The 6.5s just left me unimpressed in the field regardless of how ballistically superior they are.

Good Shooting Dave. Thanks for the comparison. Good information is always welcome.

300 Hammer is in a standard AR15 upper?

That is shockingly bad accuracy with that barrel-bullet combination! Glad my Grendel does a whole lot better than that!

Great groups with both with both Wilson Hammer barrels. I have a 16" Sanders 6.5 grendel upper with same results at 100 yards with my own reloads using 123 grain SST bullet and CFE 223 using 31 grains. You should be getting much better groups with you 6.5 grendel with that long barrel. Thanks for sharing.

I got a couple boxes of the Sierra 107 TMK. I’ll let ya know how they do out of my 6.5 Grendel with a 18” barrel….

Can someone offer a ballpark guess or estimate of the energy on target between these two calibers? And Dave, what is your estimate of caliber vs speed? I know my little Grendel doesn't make very large holes but if it's faster than my blackout is there an appreciable difference? Guess I should add . . .I'm talking about killing power on hogs using hunting bullets and under 200 yards.

🕵‍♂️ With Just Under 64 grains of Vithavouri N570 Powder, The 270 Winchester (24" Barrel) Can Push a 180 grain Bonded Woodleigh Weldcore Hunting Bullet To 2,820 ft/s (See Quickload Program For Reference)! Compare That To Your Little 6.5 Creedmore! 😂

Ooh Ill be back ta watch this one!!❤❤❤

Vote tell all your friends to VOTE . tell the local Gun club members to vote, tell all the gun owners you know to VOTE or you WILL lose the right to own them.

First !!

With Reloader 26, I Can Push That 150 grain Bullet From The 270 Win. To Almost 3,050 Ft/s (See Hodgeson's Load Data)!

🤭 So, You Picked The Worst B.C. Bullet For The 270 and The Best B.C. Bullet For The 6.5 Creedmore? Questionable For Sure! With H4831SC, My 270's Can Push That 150 grain Nosler ABLR (B.C. of 0.591) To Over 2,900 ft/s (As Will Winchesters Factory Ammunition)! SO, COMPARE THAT AND THE 270 WINS EASILY!!! 😂

🕵‍♂️ YOU HAVE VERY SHORT SIGHTED FLAWED LOGIC - MY NEWEST 270 WINCHESTER SHOT 1 1/4" TO 1 1/2" 5 SHOT GROUPS AT 300 YARDS RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX WITH THE FACTORY 150 GRAIN NOSLER ABLR BULLETS (B.C. OF 0.591) AND ALSO WILL STABALIZE THE HANDLOADED 165 GRAIN NOSLER ABLR'S (B.C. of 0.620)! THE 270 WINCHESTER IS SIMPLY A MUCH BETTER BIG GAME CARTRIDGE CHOICE! 🤑

Love your targets Dave😀

Great video. Much appreciated. Are terminal ballistic testing important? I’ve seen similar videos such as this, but wondered after you get your “perfect load” will the round actually perform as intended such as HP expanding for hunting. Is it possible to run these tests on ballistic gel at hunting distances?

Looks like that k98 is using its orginal military barrel. It has a 1 and 9 twist. It likes heavier bullets around 200 grain. I recommend 200 grain smk over 49.5 grains of Reloader 16 but as you know work up. ( my average 2578 fps.) I was able to get all my holes touching at 100 yards but I also replaced my barrel with a Lothar and Walther barrel. There is no load data for Reloader 16 and 8mm but I used quick load software and it told me that it was the best powder I could use and it was right 😂.

Good work! KZfaq gold here!

Buy you a rubber resonator for your rifle and you can shoot the same hole.

I have a Remington 700 bdl varmint special in 243 that shoots like yours! Fun to shoot and low recoil!

Wait whats the point of this round now i thought 300blk was the do all 30 caliber round for the ar15 2.260 mag length cartridge. at this point we're splitting hairs

Respectfully, I would consider replacing that front rest. I noticed most of the groups stringing horizontally, which might indicate some side to side motion in the barrel. You are an excellent shot. I think with a different front support you would see what you’re actually capable of. Love your channel. A fan.

That 300 HAMR is a beast! Good information. Thanks for the video.

Does the chronograph because it's attached to the barrel affect barrel harmonics ? Also are reloading dies only available through Wilson Combat ?

Hands down the .243 Win.

IMHO, NOTHING TO GET EXCITED ABOUT, can you say 300 black out

That is not great accuracy!!! 😟

Nice That 300hamr is a good cartridge.

Dave. Another good and interesting video with great shooting. Thanks for sharing and take care.

A little surprised, with both these bullets under an inch is quite common. The 130 is a great hunting bullet!

Good shooting Dave. Keep working the loads, it will come around. Would you call either of these minute of deer at this point?

I bought a sleeve of these 130's in preparation of this barrel. I have taken a few seer with it in the 300 bo and its a tough bullet. IMHO WELL suited for the extra 200 + FPS of the HAM'r.

I think I have same barrel. I have some HAM'r videos coming. Gonna shoot loads soon. I have some Nosler Accubonds in 125 to test.

Seems like shooting well always a fan of Wilson

A lot of those Lake City cases were, in their original state, fired in Machine guns and are from somewhat sloppy chambers. They end up sizing a lot harder than commercial brass from bolt action rifles.

great video
