7mm-08 copper bullet

Hammer 131, Varget, Lapua brass have been a great combo. Getting 3000 fps in a 22" barrel, has been very effective on elk.
 
I guess I'm the oddball when it comes to Hammers. I tried the 131 THHs and could do no better than 1.5". The 120 HHs shot under 1", but not as well, or as consistently, as the 120 TTSXs, plus they were a bit more pricey.

I've been shooting everything from mice to moose with the 120 TTSX, since way back when Barnes first dropped them. I get 3170 from 47.7 CFE 223. The last few years I've been really liking the 139 LRX. Big Game at 2850 is the most accurate mono out of my favorite Montana.
