Anyone using Hammer Hunter 143 .280 bullets this season?

Hoping to try them out for Antelope and Mule deer. Norma brass, GM210M primers and H4350.

What cartridge? I’m shooting the 155s from my 280ai

A lot of people use them! I load them with H4350 and 210M's as well in my Kimber MA

280 Remington. I have some 120s I plan to try in the 7mm-08. Ladder testing is VERY promising.

That's great. That's the powder I'm looking to use as well.

What cartridge is pushing that 210? What velocities are you seeing?

Just got back from a hunt. 210M's are the primers used for my 280ai...I didn't get pressure until well over 3200 FPS but the accuracy dropped off so I am running them in the mid 3100's.

I do push 210 gr pills in my 338 RUM at 3350 FPS. But that is a different beast.

Not exactly related but.. I'm getting 3020 fps from my 7mm08 (Varget, CCI200 primers, Lapua brass) shooting 131gr (actually 134gr) hammer hunters. Great performance on antelope, will be using for deer and elk this year as well.

Any update on how the 143 HH worked for you?
