I apologize for heading slightly sideways. I reloaded for over 20 years and then, gave it up for about 10. Now I'm looking to dive back in. So much new technology since then!!!!
I am also interested in giving the Hammers a try, but I am undecided between the Shocks and the Hunters. Their site suggests that the Shocks would perform well at 400 yds or less, and the Hunters much further than that. My personal limit on game shots is 300 yds, or thereabouts, though I do prefer 200 or less. They also state that the Shocks typically retain about 80% while the Hunters retain approx. 60-70 weight.
I'm leaning towards the Shocks, but would appreciate any input from those who have knowledge/ experience with both. BTW, I'm specifically interested in loading them for 257Rob, 260Rem and 7-08. Thanks for any help.
